Faster-charging, safer, longer-lasting solid-state batteries are on their way, hitting electric vehicles soon. The big question is: How soon until we can plug in?
MIT and SLAC researchers have mapped what is happening at the atomic level behind a particularly promising approach called metal electrolysis. The work could usher in more efficient, eco-friendly processes for the production of metals like lithium and iron.
Batteries made from an electrically conductive mixture the consistency of molasses could help solve a critical piece of the decarbonization puzzle. An interdisciplinary team from MIT has found that an electrochemical technology called a semisolid flo
An electrochemical technology called a semi-solid flow battery can be a cost-competitive form of energy storage and backup for variable sources such as wind and solar, finds an interdisciplinary team from MIT. The battery uses dispersed manganese dioxide particles, along with carbon black.
