Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LiCoO 2), also known as Lithium cobaltite, is a fundamental material in developing lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are used mainly as power sources for communication, ...

Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed an energy-efficient recycling process that restores used cathodes from spent lithium ion batteries and makes them work just as ...

Scientists investigating the aging mechanisms affecting today’s lithium-ion batteries observed that the loss of lithium over time is one of the main causes of performance loss. With this in mind, they ...

The 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Prof. John B. Goodenough of the University of Texas, Austin, U.S., Prof. M. Stanley Whittingham of Binghamton University, U.S., and Dr. Akira ...

How do Lithium-ion Batteries Work? Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in a variety of electronic devices. Lithium-ion battery cathodes are a critical component of the battery. They store and ...

This article outlines the role of Raman spectroscopy in supporting cathode and anode analysis in lithium-ion batteries. Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have been of significant interest for many years, ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

For electric cars to really take off, they ideally should match—or even exceed—the driving range of vehicles with an internal combustion engine. The key to achieving this lies in the battery itself, ...
