EPRI: Safety Implications of Lithium-ion Batteries.
Safety of lithium ion batteries, specifically mitigation of thermal runaway, is a narrowing but persistent gap that has been difficult to fully address alongside rapid technology development and adoption. Regrettably, the consequences of thermal runaway can be severe,...

A new battery that charges in 60 seconds — and lasts for a decade.
A new battery that charges in 60 seconds — and lasts for a decade. At a small lab in South Korea, scientists have built a radical new kind of battery — one that flips everything we know about charging and lifespan. Instead of lithium-ion, they’ve used a hybrid...
