Applying high stack pressure is primarily done to address the mechanical failure issue of solid-state batteries. Here, the authors propose a mechanical optimization strategy involving elastic ...

Solid-state batteries could store more energy and charge faster than today’s batteries, but they tend to crack and fail over time. Stanford researchers found that a nanoscale silver treatment can ...

Imagine an electric vehicle that charges in minutes, travels hundreds of miles on a single charge, and eliminates the risk of battery fires. This is the promise of solid-state batteries, a technology ...

Writer and occasional reluctant perpetrator of engine swaps, James O'Neil is a malaise era enthusiast and also fascinated by the many ways the auto industry has since recovered from those dark days.

What if the future of energy storage was already here, quietly reshaping industries and redefining possibilities? For decades, solid-state batteries have been heralded as the holy grail of energy ...

Electric vehicles may have become a whole lot more popular over the past five years or so, but that’s despite some issues they still face regarding things like limited range and slow charging speeds.

Silicon negative electrode in all-solid-state batteries can lose electrical contact at low stack pressure, reducing performance. Here, the authors introduce a conductive, water-processable polymer ...
