Why are lithium-ion batteries easy to catch fire and explode?
Under certain conditions, lithium-ion batteries can continuously and uncontrollably heat up, leading to fire and explosion.
New technology
The 'winterproof' lithium-ion battery operates at -80 degrees Celsius
Chinese scientists developed a new electrolyte that allows lithium-ion batteries to charge and function well at extremely low temperatures.
New technology
Injecting chemicals helps 'revive' old batteries
Scientists have developed a method that significantly restores a battery's original capacity after degradation due to many charge-discharge cycles.
New technology
Batteries made from this one-of-a-kind material will soon replace lithium-ion batteries in electric cars
Lithium-ion batteries have so many advantages but are very difficult to decompose, causing a great impact on the environment.
Scientific application
Scientists tune the anode, helping lithium-ion batteries charge to 60% in less than 6 minutes
The scientists tweaked the anode, which is usually made from graphite of lithium-ion batteries, thereby shortening the charging time.
