Mapping Performance Variations to See How Lithium-Metal Batteries Fail

sarah JonasResearch Results

Scientists have identified the primary cause of failure in a state-of-the-art lithium-metal battery, of interest for long-range electric vehicles: electrolyte depletion.

Battery Breakthrough Gives Boost to Electric Flight and Long-Range Electric Cars

sarah JonasResearch Results

Researchers at Berkeley Lab, in collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University, have developed a new battery material that could enable long-range electric vehicles that can drive for hundreds of miles on a single charge, and electric planes called eVTOLs for fast, environmentally friendly commutes.
