Battery Chemistry Battle Adds Climate Impact In Competition
December 20, 2023 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have shown that the sodium-ion battery has an equivalent climate impact as their lithium-ion competitors – without the risk of running out of raw materials. The transition to a society without fossil fuels means that the need for batteries is increasing at a rapid pace. At […]

A New Battery Chemistry Design Uses Aluminum And Sulfur
September 22, 2022 | 1 Comment
Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineers have designed a battery made from inexpensive, abundant materials, that could provide low-cost backup storage for renewable energy sources. Less expensive than lithium-ion battery technology, the new architecture uses aluminum and sulfur as its two electrode materials with a molten salt electrolyte in between. The new battery architecture is described […]

A Safer Higher Voltage Lithium Ion Battery Chemistry
April 15, 2020 | 3 Comments
University of Tokyo researchers, who explore the physical and chemical properties of electrical energy storage, have found a new way to improve lithium-ion batteries. They successfully increased not only the voltage delivery of a lithium-ion battery but also its ability to suppress dangerous conditions that affect the current range of batteries. This improved lithium-ion battery […]

Battery Chemistry Seen At The Atomic Scale
January 19, 2017 | 2 Comments
Stanford University scientists are another step toward building a better battery doing long shifts at the helm of a highly sophisticated microscope recording chemical reactions at near-atomic-scale resolution. The researchers are camped out with one of the most advanced microscopes in the world to capture an unimaginably small reaction in the Dionne lab 18 feet […]
