Tiny 3-D Lithium Ion Batteries
May 9, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Researchers in the United States have used non-traditional techniques to fashion a powerful 3D lithium ion battery with a footprint on the order of one hundred grains of salt. Batteries might seem like they come in every shape and size that you can imagine. But as electronic devices become tinier and skinnier without reducing their […]

University of Exeter has pioneered a new technique to produce hydrogen from sunlight using a new photo-electrode. The photo-electrode is an electrode that absorbs light before initializing electrochemical transformations to extract the hydrogen from water. The newly invented photo-electrode is made from nanoparticles of the elements lanthanum, iron and oxygen. The researchers believe this new […]

Progress On the Low Cost Large Scale Battery
May 2, 2018 | Leave a Comment
ETH Zurich researchers have developed a new conductor material and a new electrode material that could make inexpensive batteries for the large-scale storage of renewable energy. The potential of intermittent generating resources depends on technologies that allow the inexpensive temporary storage of electricity. A promising new candidate is aluminum batteries that are made from cheap […]

Catalyst Makes Ammonia Into Clean Fuel
May 1, 2018 | 1 Comment
Kumamoto University researchers have succeeded in developing a new catalyst that burns NH3 at a low temperature and produces N2. The results are expected to offer a carbon free fuel and increased renewable energy use. Ammonia (NH3) has attracted attention in recent years as a carbon-free fuel that does not emit carbon dioxide. For use […]
