Atlas Power Technologies' NMP-free LFP slurry. This water-based formulation provides a sustainable alternative to conventional solvent-based slurries and allows for battery electrodes with ...

Researchers have demonstrated a solvent-free method for manufacturing lithium-ion battery electrodes that eliminates the need for N-methylpyrrolidone, a toxic chemical currently standard in electric ...

An ultrathin composite solid electrolyte uses MOF-encapsulated flame retardant that releases only during thermal abuse, ...

Researchers have uncovered the mechanical properties of the nanoscale "thorns" that develop inside lithium-ion batteries, which can cause them to short circuit and die – or worse, such as ...

On June 5, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed limits on the use of N-Methylpyrrolidone (NMP), a solvent found in products such as arts and crafts supplies and paint remover.

Lithium-ion batteries are miraculous. They’re strong enough to run a vehicle, and they can be recharged at any outlet. Their commercial debut, in 1991, and popularization over the next two decades, ...
