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 ...

It took thirteen years and untold billions of dollars to make a single test car. Mercedes recently announced that it was road-testing an EV with a solid-state battery in it. This is a historic feat— ...

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 ...

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.

Solid-state batteries have long been billed as the "holy grail" of sustainable driving. Proponents say they offer safer, cheaper and more powerful batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), as well as ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. U.K.-based Neil Winton covers the European Auto industry. Solid-state batteries have been hailed as a game-changer for electric ...

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 ...

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 ...
