Improving Magnesium Borohydride For Solid-state Hydrogen Storage

Nanowire Battery Technology Has Off The Charts Charging Capacity

A nanowire battery material that can be recharged hundreds of thousands of times has been developed, edging us closer to a battery that would never require replacement.

Crushed Silicon Boosts Lithium-ion Battery Technology

Silicon is able to hold 10 times more lithium ions than the graphite commonly used in anodes today, but there is a quandary holding back the technology. Silicon has more than triple the volume when completely lithiated.
