New Type Of Solar Harvesting Could Run 24 Hrs Sets Record
November 16, 2022 | Leave a Comment
A University of Houston professor is reporting on a new type of solar energy harvesting system called thermophotovoltaics (STPV) that breaks the efficiency record of all existing technologies. And no less important, it clears the way to use solar power 24/7. Photovoltaic cells which convert sunlight directly into energy have made much progress. Yet with […]

Fire Stopper Proposed For Lithium Ion Batteries
November 15, 2022 | Leave a Comment
When overheated Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are prone to catching fire or even exploding. Yet they are used to power everything from smart watches to electric vehicles, thanks to the large amounts of energy they can store in small spaces. A recent research paper published in American Chemical Society’ Nano Letters offers a possible solution with […]

University of Queensland researchers report studying ancient ocean floors could help us discover the minerals needed to produce electric cars and solar panels. The researchers led a collaborative study that examined the remnants of ocean floors in eastern Australia and central Asia and applied a method to date the age of calcite trapped inside. Dr. […]

A research team led out of Tianjin University replaced the traditional graphite anode in a lithium-ion battery with a bumpy carbon-based material, which maintains its rechargeable storage capacity down to -31 F. When temperatures fall below freezing, cellphones need to be recharged frequently, and electric cars have shorter driving ranges. This is because their lithium-ion […]
