Lithium-ion batteries are what make modern electric vehicles possible. This Engineering Explained video shows how they work, and how they're manufactured. The video is sponsored by LG Energy Solution, ...

Cathodes play a dominant role in defining cell energy density, and also make up a significant proportion of cell costs, due to the use of high-cost metals such as cobalt, nickel and lithium. Standard ...

They published their work on Jan. 10 in Energy Material Advances. “Energy storage technologies represented by rechargeable batteries are regarded as an indispensable part of the modern energy system ...

Tesla 4680s have had slower ramping because of problems with the Cathode needing a wet process and cathodes made by other companies. Auto experts Munro Associates have taken apart a cybertruck and ...

In 2020, Tesla announced a breakthrough battery that would be much cheaper to produce while offering higher energy density thanks to new technologies like dry cathode coating and silicone anode.

Electric vehicles are on the cusp of a battery shift that could matter more than any new model reveal or charging app. Silicon anodes, long hyped and just as long held back by basic physics, are ...
