A New Sodium Metal Anode For Rechargeable Batteries
December 8, 2021 | Leave a Comment
University of Texas at Austin researchers have created a new sodium-based battery material that is highly stable, capable of recharging as quickly as a traditional lithium-ion battery and able to pave the way toward delivering more energy than current battery technologies. The new sodium metal anode resists the formation of dendrites, a common problem with […]

New Tape Absorbs Lead Making Perovskite Solar Cells Safer
December 2, 2021 | Leave a Comment
Northern Illinois University scientists have described development of a cost-effective Scotch-tape-like film that can be applied to perovskite solar cells and capture 99.9% of leaked lead in the event of solar cell damage. The researchers at Northern Illinois University and the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado, are […]

Reduction Reactions Used To Turn CO2 Back Into Fuels
December 1, 2021 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Texas A&M University researchers recently published a comprehensive review article on how carbon dioxide can be isolated through reduction reactions and then transformed into value-added chemicals for fuels. They are able to show a path to recycle and repurpose excess carbon dioxide. While a very small percentage of the atmosphere, carbon dioxide plays a […]
