Introduction Battery performance in cold environments is a critical issue that affects not only the efficiency but also the operational viability of many modern technologies. In regions where temperatures regularly fall below freezing, conventional…

Lead-acid batteries have been around for decades and are the most commonly used type of battery in RVs. They are relatively inexpensive and widely available, but they do have some downsides: They are heavy, often two to three times as heavy…

A new electrolyte design for lithium metal batteries could significantly boost the range of electric vehicles. Researchers at ETH Zurich have radically reduced the amount of environmentally harmful fluorine required to stabilize these batteries. Lithium…
