Research shows that the chemical—a component of wastewater in textile-making—is good at tasks associated with energy storage

Researchers have shown how to shuttle lithium ions back and forth into the crystal structure of a quantum material, representing a new avenue for research and potential applications in batteries

Proposed design is easy to produce, low-cost, flexible, and more efficient than previously proposed paper-based batteries

Additive manufacturing, otherwise known as 3-D printing, can be used to manufacture porous electrodes for lithium-ion batteries

The research focuses on rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries, which are used in cell phones, laptops, and other electronics

Researchers at Rensselaer have developed a patented method to use cheap and abundant paper biomass to make lithium-sulfur batteries

Researchers have developed a rechargeable yarn battery that is waterproof and flexible

Scientists have  produced a new design for a beyond-lithium-ion battery cell that operates by running on air (hence, referred to as “lithium-air”) over many charge and discharge cycles

The chemical pathways by which these reactions take place help determine how quickly a battery becomes depleted

Recent research findings could aid engineers in developing technology suited to withstand the coldest reaches of outer space or the most frigid regions on Earth
