Researchers have developed a model to determine the lifetime costs of 9 electricity storage technologies for 12 different applications between 2015 and 2050. The model, which predicts lithium-ion batteries to be the cheapest technology in the coming decades.

Conventional lithium ion batteries have reached performance limits. Scientists have now developed a new nanostructured anode material for lithium ion batteries, which extends the capacity and cycle life of the batteries. Based on a mesoporous mixed metal oxide in combination with graphene, the material could provide a new approach how to make better use of batteries in large devices such as electric or hybrid vehicles.

Nowadays, mobile phones are becoming more and more important to our lives. Even some people have reached the level of being uncomfortable with no mobile phones. Such people are not in the minority. Today's mobile phones are non-removable batteries, unlike the previous mobile phones, which can be freely replaced, which means that the battery life is becoming more and more important. Some netizens said that they can't stand the mobile phone's power below 20%. Although many mobile phones have been upgraded on the battery life, mobile phones cannot be changed frequently. Therefore, it is more important to protect the mobile phone battery.

Dramatically longer-lasting, faster-charging and safer lithium metal batteries may be possible, according to Penn State research, recently published in Nature Energy.

What is a lithium battery? It is the battery used by our usual phones, computers, and digital cameras. In recent years, the aviation industry has greatly enhanced the regulations on aircraft on lithium batteries. If passengers are unclear, if they carry too many lithium batteries on the plane, they will cause great disaster at any time. So be sure to know the items about the aircraft with a lithium battery and enjoy a peace of mind.
