Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… The so-called ‘solid-state batteries‘ are considered one of the ‘Holy Grails’ of battery research. The Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research has reported important progress. The team’s research paper has been published in the journal Nature Communications. Solid-state batteries no longer have a liquid core, as is the case with today’s batteries, but consist […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Engineers at The University of Texas at El Paso have proposed a low-cost, nickel-based material as a catalyst to help split water more cheaply and efficiently. Their inspiration? A desert succulent known as the prickly pear cactus. The material is described in a new paper in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces. More […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… The sharpest edge of lithium ion research has silicon anodes with the potential to revolutionize storage capacity. That will be key to meeting climate goals and unlocking the full potential of electric vehicles. So far the irreversible depletion of lithium ions in silicon anodes puts a major constraint on the development of next-generation lithium-ion batteries. For an […]

Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Technical University of Munich (TUM) researchers use artificial photosynthesis that may produce syngas (synthetic gas) for the large-scale chemical industry and be able to charge batteries. Plants use photosynthesis to harvest energy from sunlight. Now researchers have applied this principle as artificial photosynthesis for the basis for developing new sustainable processes. The paper describing […]

Texas A&M University chemical engineers have discovered a 1,000% difference in the storage capacity of metal-free, water-based battery electrodes. Chemical engineering professor Dr. Jodie Lutkenhaus and chemistry assistant professor Dr. Daniel Tabor have published their findings about lithium-free batteries in Nature Materials. Water based or aqueous batteries are different from lithium-ion batteries that contain cobalt. […]
