Air-breathing lithium batteries that go far beyond the capacity of current power packs may be in the offing A rechargeable, air-breathing battery that can store up to 10 times the energy of today’s conventional lithium [...]

“There’s going to be graveyards full of buried battery companies” PolyPlus partners with Johnson Controls and Corning to commercialize energy dense lithium-water, lithium-air, and lithium-sulfur batteries PolyPlus—a tiny, 27-person battery startup—has decided it needs to [...]

If the Bugs Can Be Worked Out IBM-led research to create lithium-air electric vehicle batteries gets a boost from Japanese chemical companies toward the goal of 800 kilometers out of a full charge. Researchers predict [...]

Electric cars begin and end with this one word, range.   The range of an electric car refers to how far an electric car can go before its battery stack requires recharging. So far, a [...]

M.I.T. researchers design a more energy-dense lithium-based battery. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have come one step closer to replacing the lithium-ion batteries that power phones, laptops and electric cars with a device [...]
