Lithium-air batteries, known for their potential to store far more energy than conventional lithium-ion batteries, have struggled with practical challenges like short lifespans and theoretical ...

The goal of electric planes and better electric cars just moved a lot closer. A joint research team from Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and the carbon specialist company Toyo ...

A joint research team from NIMS and Toyo Tanso has developed a carbon electrode that enables stable operation of a 1-Wh-class stacked lithium-air battery, achieving higher output, longer life and ...

The National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), in collaboration with Seikei University, has successfully enhanced the power output of lithium-air batteries, which are attracting attention as ...

Lithium-air batteries have the potential to outstrip conventional lithium-ion batteries by storing significantly more energy at the same weight. However, their high-performance values have thus far ...

A lithium-air battery generates electricity by allowing lithium ions (Li⁺) to move from the lithium anode through the electrolyte to the porous cathode, where they react with oxygen from the air to ...

A packed Air China flight bound for Seoul was forced to make an emergency landing in Shanghai on Saturday after a lithium battery inside a passenger’s carry-on luggage erupted in flames, filling the ...

While some may call it a fairytale chemistry, solid-state lithium-air battery (SS-LAB) technology is now a step closer to commercial reality with the foundation of Air Energy. The startup has set out ...
