How Lithium-Ion Batteries Actually Work (and Degrade)
How lithium-ion batteries actually work: intercalation chemistry, the SEI layer, charge and discharge, why they degrade, and what causes thermal runaway.
How Solid-State Batteries Actually Work (2026)
How solid-state batteries actually work: solid electrolytes, lithium-metal anodes, dendrite suppression, and why they promise safer, denser energy storage.
How Flow Batteries Actually Work: A Deep Explainer (2026)
How flow batteries actually work — vanadium, iron, and zinc-bromine chemistries, scaling math, grid economics, and where they beat lithium.
How Lithium-Ion Batteries Work (and Why They Catch Fire)
How lithium-ion batteries work, explained — ions, cathodes, anodes, the SEI layer, and the chemistry of thermal runaway that makes them catch fire.
