Nature Communications, Published online: 10 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-77590-1 Thin sulfide electrolyte film could raise energy density of solid state battery, but producing thin, highly conductive film remains difficult. Here, authors develop an α-pinene assisted quasi-dry process to improve film quality and demonstrate a pouch cell retaining 83% capacity after 1000 cycles.

The building and civil engineering arm of Spencer Group has been appointed to carry out groundworks and enabling works at two National Grid substations in West Yorkshire and Merseyside The post Spencer Group wins National Grid contracts for works on two substations linked with battery storage appeared first on New Civil Engineer .

The service life of lithium-ion batteries is limited by complex aging processes, the causes of which are often difficult to distinguish from one another. Researchers at the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) have shown that the distribution of two lithium isotopes within the ...

The appeal of lithium-manganese-rich (LMR) batteries has long rested on a difficult proposition: delivering relatively high energy density without carrying the same material costs associated with cobalt-heavy battery chemistries.

The batteries last more than 12,000 charge cycles, meaning they could one day dethrone lithium-ion alternatives.

Abundant sodium could reduce critical-mineral vulnerabilities and support Europe’s electrification, but Chinese manufacturers hold a commanding lead in the market The post Sodium batteries are coming to Europe appeared first on Dialogue Earth .

Google will buy power from MN8 Energy's 86 MW Mammoth Solar project in West Virginia, including Eos Energy's first 10 MW zinc battery deployment for Google. <p>The post Google backs zinc battery storage at reclaimed West Virginia coal mine first appeared on Winssolutions .</p>

Energy storage is becoming critical to grid resilience and electricity affordability because battery systems can help balance supply

Since 2017, SPECIFIC POLYMERS has supplied MTFSILi (SP-49-023) to research groups and companies working on the next generation of lithium batteries. The post MTFSILi Reaches a New Production Scale: Inside SPECIFIC POLYMERS’ Reference Single-Ion Monomer for Lithium Batteries appeared first on specific polymers .

Iberdrola awarded Ingeteam a EUR 25 million order for battery energy storage systems tied to renewable installations in Spain, part of a EUR 30 million package. The post Ingeteam Wins EUR 25 Million Iberdrola Order for Battery Storage in Spain appeared first on iGrow News .

Jin Lian Cheng Resources completed an upgrade to its desulfurization production line as demand increased for lead-acid battery recycling tied to high-spec uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems used by semiconductor plants. The Taiwanese waste lead-acid battery processor said the upgrade restored normal operations while improving sulfur oxide treatment, real-time monitoring, and environmental…

Researchers developed a sterically regulated electrolyte that uses a non-flammable cyclic fluorinated diluent to form isolated solvation nanoclusters, improving lithium-ion transport and stabilizing interfaces in lithium metal batteries. The system enabled NCM811 coin cells to retain 80% capacity after more than 800 cycles, while a separate 6 Ah pouch cell exceeded 500 Wh kg?¹ and showed favorabl…

Every LTE-M and NB-IoT battery estimate starts with the same assumption: the device will sleep for the interval you configured. It won't. The network rewrites your timers during attach, and the granted values — not the requested ones — determine how long the battery actually lasts. This matters because the gap between requested and granted timers is invisible unless you look for it. Your firmware…

Why would anyone cook egg yolk and old rice into a battery material? It sounds like a cooking show that took a wrong turn. But the ingredients make more sense than they first appear, and the result is a black powder that can hold and release an electric charge thousands of times over. The work comes from a 2023 study ,led by Shumeng Qin and colleagues at Henan University, with a co-author at Fuda…

Scientific Reports, Published online: 08 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41598-026-70351-6 Synthesis methods effects on performance and aging of cobalt-free (CrMnFeNiAl) 3 O 4 high-entropy oxide nanoparticles as lithium-ion battery anodes

Kemira Oyj (Helsinki, Finland) has started pilot operations for iron phosphate production at its site in Helsingborg, Sweden, marking an important milestone in the company’s development of battery materials and to support a more resilient and sustainable battery value chain. Iron phosphate is an essential chemical precursor, or core building block, used in the production […] The post Kemira launc…
