New electrolyte promises to rid lithium batteries of short circuiting dendrites

New electrolyte promises to rid lithium batteries of short-circuiting dendrites

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

Dendrites – thin conductive filaments that form inside lithium batteries – reduce the life of these cells and are often responsible for them catching fire. Scientists working at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) of the US Department of Energy claim to have produced a new electrolyte for lithium batteries that not only completely eliminates […]

Supercapacitors Surpassing Conventional Batteries

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

Researchers at the University of Central Florida have been looking for alternatives for lithium rechargeable batteries which are largely used in every device. Using two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) capacitive materials, they are building a new supercapacitor that overcomes the performance of conventional lithium battery and replaces its efficiently. Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers (TMDs) are

Research Points the way to Safer Lithium Batteries

Electronics News Updates / Ibrar Ayyub

Menlo Park, Calif. — In a study that could improve the safety of next-generation batteries, researchers discovered that adding two chemicals to the electrolyte of a lithium metal battery prevents the formation of dendrites – “fingers” of lithium that pierce the barrier between the battery’s halves, causing it to short out, overheat and sometimes burst
