Anyone using a cellphone, laptop or electric vehicle depends on lithium. The element is in tremendous demand. And although the supply of lithium around the world is plentiful, getting access to it and extracting it remains a challenging and inefficient process.
Quantum chemists believe gold, silver and copper could help the world take a leap towards green energy after discovering that compounds based on these metal elements and hydrogen are very promising candidates for hydrogen storage.
A new study from Ruhr University-Bochum and the University of California Berkeley reveals that protons present in aqueous solution tend to migrate very rapidly—much quicker than other ions. But this is applicable only when they are in a space greater than 2 nm.
The Journal of Alloys and Compounds has published an article coauthored by the Institute of Solid State Chemistry and Mechanochemistry (the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences), the Donostia International Physics Centre, and the HSE Tikhonov Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics on the characteristics of cubic double perovskite oxides.
From batteries in electric vehicles to catalytic converters that reduce automobile emissions, critical materials are essential to a sustainable future. Critical materials are materials that we need, but may not have reliable access to.
Argonne scientists Supratik Guha and Valerie Taylor will lead DOE-funded research projects in microelectronics for more efficient computing.
Electrochromic (EC) materials, one of the key "green" technological components for sustainability and energy savings, have piqued the interest of academia and industry alike. Tungsten oxide (WO3) is among the most extensively researched EC materials that is widely used in today's "smart windows." One popular EC approach is the reversible insertion of small ions into electrode materials.
Ceramics can withstand high heat and extreme environments. However, they tend to be delicate and break easily. In a new study, researchers from Texas A&M University have recently found a self-healing mechanism within a kind of ceramics known as MAX phases.
A new study performed at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has revealed that bandgap engineering has the ability to enhance the performance of optoelectronic devices developed to exploit the energy of “hot” electrons.
Researchers at the Tufts University School of Engineering have designed a new filtering technology taking a cue from biology that could prevent a drinking water-related disease affecting tens of millions of people globally.
