Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Chalmers University of Technology researchers think micro supercapacitors could revolutionize the way we use batteries by increasing their lifespan and enabling extremely fast charging. Manufacturers of everything from smartphones to electric cars are therefore investing heavily into research and development of these electronic components. Now, researchers have developed a method that represents a […]

Research Shows How Lithium Ion Batteries Can Get Better
January 17, 2018 | 1 Comment
Brookhaven National Laboratory scientists have observed an unexpected phenomenon in lithium-ion batteries – the most common type of battery used to power cell phones and electric cars. As a model battery generated electric current, the scientists witnessed the concentration of lithium inside individual nanoparticles reverse at a certain point, instead of constantly increasing. This discovery, […]

Enzyme Makes a Longer Lasting Battery
March 28, 2017 | Leave a Comment
A TU Graz scientist, Stefan Freunberger, investigated ageing processes in non-aqueous batteries and found an enzyme to lengthen battery life. It has long been known in biology that the excited oxygen molecule, singlet oxygen, is the main cause of aging in cells. To counter this, nature uses an enzyme called superoxide dismutase to eliminate superoxide […]
