ORNL researchers are exploring two ways to transform coal into graphite. One uses coal char, a solid byproduct, while the other utilizes coal liquids. By heating coal without oxygen, researchers ...

A research team, led by Professor Jong-Beom Baek and his team in the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at UNIST have achieved a significant breakthrough in battery technology. They have ...

Wolfe said shaping round particles from graphite results in wasting part of the resource. "The spray-drying method allows us to dictate the particle size without losing valuable material," Lara-Curzio ...

China's state TV broadcaster has revealed details of a new "graphite bomb" that can cause a "complete loss of electricity" across an area of 10,000 square meters, or knock out entire power stations, ...

Harvard SEAS researchers have engineered a groundbreaking solid-state battery with a 10-minute recharge time and the ability to undergo more than 6,000 charge and discharge cycles. A groundbreaking ...

The key parts of a lithium-ion battery include the separator, anode, cathode, electrolyte, and current collectors. The anode, which stores lithium ions during battery charging, is usually composed of ...

Better electrodes are needed to meet the increasing demand for low-cost, long-life batteries. Much effort is devoted to identifying new electrode materials, but a simpler, promising route is improving ...

Lithium-ion battery optimization and safety are crucial to reducing cell aging. In this case, one of the most important elements is the particle size of the bioactive constituents such as cathode, ...
