Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are among the most widely used energy storage technologies available in the market. In a variety of fields, such as electronics products, machine tools, hospital equipment, and electric vehicles, their ability to offer high power and energy density in conjunction with a long life cycle, little memory effect, and acceptable cost provides an unrivaled advantage (EVs).

The researchers, led by Jennifer L. Schaefer, professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, analyzed how magnesium-ion-conducting solid polymer electrolytes may work in two separate battery systems.
Carbon dioxide (CO2), a product of burning fossil fuels and the most prevalent greenhouse gas, has the potential to be sustainably converted back into useful fuels. A promising route for turning CO2 emissions into a fuel feedstock is a process known as electrochemical reduction.
Syngas is an important feedstock for modern chemical industries and can be directly used as fuel. Carbon monoxide (CO) is its main component. Direct conversion of widespread renewable biomass resources into CO can help to achieve sustainable development.
As Sensofar celebrates 20 years, the renewed brand reflects a commitment to excellence in optical metrology and a bright future in surface inspection.
Occasionally chemical reactions in the lab turn out the way one imagines them to, and from time to time they do not. Neither is uncommon. What is very rare, however, is what researchers at TU Wien have recently observed when investigating hydrogen oxidation on a rhodium catalyst.
Almost a quarter of the global energy supply is spent tackling issues related to wear and tear – or to be more accurate, overcoming common issues related to tribology, according to a team of researchers who published new work in the journal Tribology Methods.
