Now There is a Super Catalyst With 14 Active Elements

October 21, 2021 | Leave a Comment

A research group in Japan has successfully developed a “nanoporous super multi-element catalyst” (1) that contains 14 elements (2) which are mixed uniformly at the atomic level and used as a catalyst. The new catalyst was found to show excellent properties as an electrode material for water electrolysis due to the multi-element superposition effect (cocktail […]

Fabric Like Electrode Created For Batteries & Supercaps

September 26, 2017 | 5 Comments

Drexel University researchers are making a fabric-like electrode material that could help make batteries and supercapacitors safer, better and less expensive. The new material also offers more operating speed while reducing the potential for leaks or disastrous meltdowns. Their design for a new supercapacitor, which looks something like a furry sponge infused with gelatin, offers […]
