Scientists Discover How Oxygen Loss Saps a Lithium-Ion Battery’s Voltage

Scientists Discover How Oxygen Loss Saps a Lithium-Ion Battery’s Voltage Lithium-ion batteries work like a rocking chair, moving lithium ions back and forth between two electrodes that temporarily store charge. Ideally, those ions are the only things moving in and out of the billions of nanoparticles that make up each electrode. But researchers have known … Continue reading Scientists Discover How Oxygen Loss Saps a Lithium-Ion Battery’s Voltage

Battery-less storage solutions for large-scale solar and storage

Battery-less storage solutions for large-scale solar and storage Shakespeare spoke of, “Vaulting ambition which o’er leaps itself and falls upon the other.” He could have meant lithium-ion batteries. They are everywhere, setting fire to power stations, cars and hoverboards, and that was just January 2021. Analysts IDTechEx wrote an article, “Lithium-ion Batteries: 2021 Starts with … Continue reading Battery-less storage solutions for large-scale solar and storage
