Samsung is making strides in the battery technology field, but it's not rushing. This company is known for its innovative gadgets, but battery tech hasn't seen much change lately. However, behind the scenes, things are different. Samsung is quietly exploring new battery technologies. The focus is on creating a battery that lasts longer and is safe to use. This is a ...
The electric vehicle (EV) revolution is in full swing, and China is at the heart of it. Two giants, CATL and BYD, are leading the charge in battery technology. CATL, the world's top battery maker, recently announced a new battery that can power an EV for about 320 miles on a single charge. This is a significant leap from BYD's latest offering, which promises around 2...
Zinc-based batteries are gaining attention as a safe and reliable way to store energy. These batteries, known as zinc aqueous batteries (ZABs), have a lot of potential, but they have some big problems. Specifically, they struggle with side reactions and dendrite growth, which make it hard to use them on a large scale. To tackle these issues, researchers have come up...
A new player in the battery game is here to shake things up. Daqus Energy has been quietly working on a new material called TAQ. It's cheaper and lighter than what's out there now. This could be a game-changer for electric sports cars. But there's a catch: it's not perfect yet. The big deal with TAQ is that it doesn't rely on expensive metals like nickel or cobalt. ...
TECNO is set to unveil the Spark Slim at MWC 2025. This phone is incredibly thin, measuring just 5. 75mm. It's not just about being slim; TECNO claims it has the largest battery in a phone this thin, with a 5, 200mAh capacity. This is a big deal because most super-thin phones have much smaller batteries. The Spark Slim is designed to compete with high-end phones lik...
Lithium ions are tiny particles that could change how we store and use energy. Scientists have created a special gel to make these particles move faster and more freely. This gel is made from polymers, ionic liquids, and lithium salts. It acts like a superhighway for lithium ions, allowing them to travel more efficiently. Lithium ions often slow down when there are ...
Imagine a world where batteries are cheap, safe, and powerful. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, zinc-ion batteries are stepping up to make this dream a reality. But hold on, there's a twist. When zinc is used as the anode, things can get a bit chaotic. Tiny, unwanted branches called dendrites can grow, causing poor performance and instability. Plus, zinc doesn't alw...
Ever wondered why your battery doesn't last as long as you'd like? One big reason is the way lithium metal anodes behave during operation. These anodes can change a lot in size and shape, which can cause big problems like dendrites. Imagine dendrite formation like the growth of tiny lithium branches. These branches can cause short circuits in batteries, maki...
Zinc might be the star of the future in energy storage, but it's been held back by some serious issues. Think dendrites, corrosion, and hydrogen bubbles – all messing up the party at the electrode/electrolyte interface. Scientists have found a clever way to turn the tables. They've figured out how to use the byproducts of zinc's corrosion and passivation, called zinc...
Ever wished you didn't have to worry about your phone dying? Swippitt might just make that wish come true. This clever gadget, which made waves at CES 2025, is designed to keep your phone powered up without the hassle of charging. Its hub-and-link system ensures you always have a full battery at hand. The hub is a sleek box that sits on your desk, filled with five ba...
