A cross-continental team from North China Electric Power University, TU Ilmenau and the University of Central Florida, led by professors Huajun Tian, Yong Lei and Yang Yang, has released a 34-page ...

As the global demand for safer, more sustainable and cost-effective energy storage grows, research is rapidly moving beyond ...

We take a look at the chemistry behind electrolytes and sports drink science. Sports drink commercials love talking about them, but what are electrolytes, why do we need them, and what happens if we ...

Developing longer-lasting, more-efficient electrolytes better than those engineered more than three decades ago has been difficult. Electrolytes enable the batteries in everything from your cell phone ...

A new technique builds inorganic and polymer battery electrolytes at the same time, in the same vessel. This 'one-pot' in-situ method creates a controlled, homogeneous blend, pairing the conductivity ...

Single MXene flakes show two electrolyte dependent redox pathways, clarifying nanoscale charge transfer and guiding development of fast pseudocapacitors. (Nanowerk News) MXene materials are promising ...

Creating battery electrolytes—the component that carries the charged particles back and forth between a battery's two ...

Chemists have found a novel glass-forming liquid electrolyte that exhibits specific lithium-ion conduction. They study the speciation and dipole reorientation dynamics in the glass-forming liquid ...

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are widely considered one of the most promising next-generation energy storage technologies because of their ...
