The MIT study has created a new model, called the Coupled Ion-Electron Transfer (CIET) model, to advance lithium-ion ...

At the heart of all lithium-ion batteries is a simple reaction: Lithium ions dissolved in an electrolyte solution ...

Until now, most advances in these areas have been discovered through trial and error, but a newly developed mathematical model, backed by experimental evidence, could be used to steer engineers in the ...

Inside every lithium-ion battery, there’s a tiny dance going on. When you use your device, lithium ions migrate from the ...

Why your phone charges quickly one day but slowly the next, or why electric cars still take an hour or more to charge, is a matter of how lithium ions move into a battery’s electrodes. Scientists ...

A high-voltage transmission electron microscope (HVTEM) small enough to fit inside a university lab has been built for the first time by researchers in Japan. The team, led by Takumi Sannomiya at ...
