Microstructure Engineering Plays Role in Optimizing Active Materials for All-Solid-State Batteries

Only 2% of vehicles are electrified to date, but that is projected to reach 30% in 2030. A key toward improving the commercialization of electric vehicles (EVs) is to heighten their gravimetric energy density - measured in watt hours per kilogram - using safer, easily recyclable materials that are abundant.

Study Shows How Oxygen Loss Degrades the Performance of Lithium-Ion Batteries

When lithium ions travel in and out of a battery electrode during charge-discharge cycles, a small amount of oxygen leaks out and the battery’s voltage — a measure of the amount of energy it delivers — also reduces in the same corresponding amount.

The Current State of the Global Semiconductor Market

The global semiconductor market has entered an exciting period. Demand for chip technology is both driving the industry as well as hindering it, with current chip shortages predicted to last for some time. Current trends will likely shape the future of the industry, which is set to continue to show

How are Graphene Batteries Made?

The primary distinction between graphene-based batteries and solid-state batteries lies in the composition of either electrode. Although the cathode is commonly changed, carbon allotropes can also be employed in fabricating anodes.

What Role Will The IoT Play In The Electric Vehicle Industry?

In recent years, the IoT is rapidly being introduced into almost all sectors, but it has particular importance in the EV industry.
