Lithium metal-based batteries have the potential to turn the battery industry upside down. With the theoretically ultra-high capacity of lithium metal used by itself, this new type of battery could power everything from personal devices to cars.

Researchers at the Department of Materials Engineering and Metallurgy, University Cambridge have developed a new polymeric network material that enables the production of a flexible supercapacitor with high specific capacitance and cycling stability.

Fuel cells have the potential to be a clean and efficient way to run cars, computers, and power stations, but the cost of producing them is limiting their use. That's because a key component of the most common fuel cells is a catalyst made from the precious metal platinum.

LGChem is the world's largest Li-ion manufacturer. The company owns battery plants in South Korea, China, the US, and Poland.

CATL is a Sino-Japanese company manufacturing Li-ion batteries for consumer electronics and electric vehicles. The company has the ambitious objective of reaching a production of 100 GWh/year by 2020.

Scientists have observed how lithium moves inside individual nanoparticles that make up batteries. The finding could help companies develop batteries that charge faster and last longer

IDTechEx Chairman, Dr Peter Harrop, explores the importance of eliminating batteries, with other energy harvesting techniques being increasingly more viable.

A new design of algae-powered fuel cells that is five times more efficient than existing plant and algal models, as well as being potentially more cost-effective to produce and practical to use, has been developed by researchers.

Maxim's unique BMS technology, including MAX17843, has the industry's only single-chip solution to achieve ASIL D compliance.

Rolled-Ribbon is a company based in Austin, TX, working on a cylindrical cell with an unusual form factor that, in the view of the inventors, lowers internal cell resistance, thermal resistance, and removes the need for additional hardware.

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes or modified graphene nanoribbons may be suitable replacements for platinum for fast oxygen reduction, the key reaction in fuel cells that transform chemical energy into electricity, according to Rice University researchers.

CAP-XX announced that Spire has incorporated CAP-XX Thinline supercapacitors into the new Spire Health Tag to provide the peak power needed for delivering real-time wellness vibration alerts to consumers. -

Electrovaya is a battery company with production facilities in Canada and Germany. They use a proprietary ceramic separator called SEPARION that does not shrink with temperature.

A team of researchers has introduced a novel manufacturing technology to form new materials, using ultrasonic waves used in medical diagnosis, humidifiers, as well as sonar systems for submarines. The method has received considerable attention as a new technique that is capable of manufacturing high-performance materials without the need of high temperatures or pressure.

Battery power better than lithium or even solar is under development as researchers work to efficiently capture the energy of graphene oxide (GO).

A new technique developed by researchers provides a unique insight into how the charging rate of lithium ion batteries can be a factor limiting their lifetime and safety.

EMW is a Korean company that has developed rechargeable advanced zinc-air batteries for military purposes.
