An innovative method for the stabilization of a multiply charged anion (negative ion) has been demonstrated by the researchers at New Virginia Commonwealth University. The study findings have the potential to help produce better magnesium and lithium ion batteries.
Around the world nuclear energy is a vital source of energy. It is needed because it is a clean energy source and reduces the carbon emissions from fossil fuels. However many people believe that the risk of nuclear accidents does not outweigh the advantages of using nuclear energy. Michael Tonks, assistant professor of mechanical and nuclear engineering at Penn State and director of the Microstructure Science and Engineering Laboratory at Penn State is involved with three projects through the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP). These projects aim to discover new materials for nuclear fuel, to make the existing light water reactors (LWRs) safer.
Scientists have successfully integrated hypothetical calculations and sophisticated in-situ microscopy to reveal critical clues about the properties of an advanced energy storage material for use in batteries and supercapacitors. The study was conducted by researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) of the Department of Energy (DOE).
Leading Swedish fuel cell company PowerCell Sweden AB (publ) has signed an agreement with South African based Powertech System Integrators (Pty) Ltd (PTSI) to distribute PowerCell's products in Africa.
A team of researchers from TU Graz partnered with the Wetsus research centre in The Netherlands to create electrically charged water using a floating water bridge. The “water bridge” phenomenon was first discovered in the 19th century, but it was forgotten until it's scientific rediscovery in 2007 at TU Graz.
A milestone study in solar cell fabrication was conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in partnership with Washington State University (WSU) and the University of Tennessee. This research will facilitate the use of solar energy to directly contend with electricity generated from traditional energy sources.
An economy that depends solely on fossil fuels seems unsustainable in the current global scenario. Oil prices are crashing, and supplies of coal, oil, and similar fuels are limited.
Lithium-ion batteries gained popularity in the 1990s, and have lead to the replacement of nickel-metal hydride batteries. Today Li-ion batteries power numerous electronic gadgets, such as mobile, laptops, and tablets.
The promise of high conversion efficiency with lower cost has put perovskite solar cells under intense research in the field of photovoltaics.
Lithium-ion batteries are a rapidly growing energy storage method due to their high energy density, especially in mobile applications such as personal electronics and electric cars.
