Lithium-ion batteries are what make modern electric vehicles possible. This Engineering Explained video shows how they work, and how they're manufactured. The video is sponsored by LG Energy Solution, ...

A battery's positive end (cathode) and negative end (anode) are two vital components that largely define how well it can ...

During the oil crisis of the 1970s, a chemist at Exxon named M. Stanley Whittingham, working on a new type of rechargeable battery, discovered that lithium ions could slip inside the gaps in a layered ...

Tesla 4680s have had slower ramping because of problems with the Cathode needing a wet process and cathodes made by other companies. Auto experts Munro Associates have taken apart a cybertruck and ...

Cathodes play a dominant role in defining cell energy density, and also make up a significant proportion of cell costs, due to the use of high-cost metals such as cobalt, nickel and lithium. Standard ...

In 2020, Tesla announced a breakthrough battery that would be much cheaper to produce while offering higher energy density thanks to new technologies like dry cathode coating and silicone anode.
