Team develops a high-energy, high-efficiency all-solid-state Na-air battery platform.
Renewable grid: Recovering electricity from heat storage hits 44% efficiency
Updated: 2024-05-24 00:51:02Closing in on the theoretical maximum efficiency, devices for turning heat into electricity are edging closer to being practical for use on the grid, according to new research.Iron could be key to less expensive, greener lithium-ion batteries, research finds
Updated: 2024-05-23 19:36:19Chemistry researchers are hoping to spark a green battery revolution by showing that iron instead of cobalt and nickel can be used as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries.New milestone for lithium metal batteries
Updated: 2024-05-23 15:26:09Scientists develop a porous structures for lithium metal batteries.Batteries: Modeling tomorrow's materials today
Updated: 2024-05-21 04:47:02Which factors determine how quickly a battery can be charged? Microstructural models have helped researchers discover and investigate new electrode materials. When sodium-nickel-manganese oxide is used as cathode material in sodium-ion batteries, simulations reveal modifications of the crystal structure during charging. These modifications lead to an elastic deformation, as a result of which capacity decreases.Carbon-capture batteries developed to store renewable energy, help climate
Updated: 2024-05-15 20:43:30Researchers are developing battery technologies to fight climate change in two ways, by expanding the use of renewable energy and capturing airborne carbon dioxide. Researchers recently created and tested two different formulations for batteries that store renewable energy; when the energy is later used, an electrochemical reaction converts industrial carbon dioxide emissions into a solid form that has the potential to be used in other products.Making batteries takes a lot of lithium: Some could come from gas well wastewater
Updated: 2024-05-15 20:43:01A new analysis suggests that if it could be extracted with complete efficiency, lithium from the wastewater of Marcellus shale gas wells could supply up to 40% of the country's demand.Eco-friendly and affordable battery for low-income countries
Updated: 2024-05-14 18:14:37A battery made from zinc and lignin that can be used over 8000 times. This has been developed with a vision to provide a cheap and sustainable battery solution for countries where access to electricity is limited.Disorder improves battery life
Updated: 2024-05-08 15:31:04What determines the cycle life of batteries? And, more importantly, how can we extend it? An international research team has discovered that local disorder in the oxide cathode material increases the number of times Li-ion batteries can be charged and discharged.
