As the world races to decarbonize, clean energy storage is becoming the central challenge. Lithium-ion batteries, the current workhorse of electric vehicles and renewable storage, are reaching their ...

Researchers in South Korea have successfully demonstrated the use of free ambient air as a fuel leveraging a sodium-based solid electrolyte to tackle the carbonate issue that has been holding back the ...

A research team in Mexico has created a battery that can still function after being punctured and submerged in water—conditions that would likely ignite the lithium-ion batteries currently used in ...

Team develops a high-energy, high-efficiency all-solid-state Na-air battery platform. The flower mentioned in the children's song "Orchard Road" is actually from the acacia tree. Acacia blossom honey ...

In this study, researchers developed a straightforward plasma-based process to produce a composite of carbon and cobalt-tin hydroxide. Under the right synthesis conditions, the resulting material ...

A metal-air battery has a metal like zinc as the anode (negative electrode) and ambient air as the cathode (positive electrode). When the battery discharges – releases energy – oxygen from ambient air ...

Drawing inspiration from the way plants breathe, a group of researchers has created a paper-based magnesium-air battery that can be used in GPS sensors or pulse oximeter sensors. Taking advantage of ...

Fuel cells powered with the metal could provide a new source of electric power that's far more energy-dense than lithium-ion batteries. A new type of fuel cell that runs on sodium metal could one day ...

A research team in Mexico has created a battery that can still function after being punctured and submerged in water – conditions that would likely ignite the lithium-ion batteries currently used in ...
