Energy storage really is the special sauce that makes renewables work anytime, anywhere – and everywhere. This makes the most of the existing electricity network, including transmission lines.
Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a new way to firm up the world’s electricity grids - and they could be a game-changer.
Allowing our spent lithium batteries to be exported free of charge could mean forfeiting a potential $3 billion onshore reprocessing industry.
The reason batteries come in so many types has as much to do with history as innovation.
Sodium is a cheap and viable alternative to lithium in batteries for low-medium range EVs.
Plus 8 tips for maximising your battery’s lifespan.
Lithium-ion battery fires are rare, but they can cause a lot of damage – and they’re challenging to put out.
Lithium-ion batteries power many electric cars, bikes and scooters. When they are damaged or overheated, they can ignite or explode. Four engineers explain how to handle these devices safely.
Lithium-ion batteries are holding back the full-scale decarbonization of Canada’s energy grid. Zinc-ion batteries may be the solution.
The Indonesian president’s visit to Australia could lead to closer co-operation on the energy transition, with Australia supplying lithium for Indonesia’s electric vehicle and battery production.
The environmental impacts of electric vehicle batteries range from mining, and energy and water use to the hazards of discarded batteries. These issues can be resolved, but there’s no time to waste.
The vaping craze sweeping the globe is leaving a legacy of contaiminated e-waste in landfill while waste management authorities scramble to set up recycling schemes.
it’s hard to justify buying a battery right now on cost savings alone. If other reasons also matter to you, it’s easier to justify.
Air Canada and United Airlines both have orders for hybrid electric 30-seaters. An aerospace engineer explains where electrification, hydrogen and sustainable aviation fuels are headed.
China controls much of the global EV supply chain, but electric vehicles that use its parts and minerals won’t qualify for new US EV tax credits. Can America build its own supply chain?
Between reuse and recycling, what happens to the batteries of electric vehicles?
For the moment the find in Nigeria simply points to the potential for lithium resource. Full exploration will be necessary.
We have underestimated the energy potential of our ears: deformations in the ear canal could be used to power in-ear technologies.
One species of eel can discharge 860 volts of electricity – that’s 200-fold higher than the top voltage of a single lithium-ion battery.
