Researchers synthesized Al-substituted Na5FeS4 positive electrode materials for all-solid-state sodium batteries and found that slight aluminum substitution increased apparent sodium-ion transport while preserving high capacity. Na5Fe0.95Al0.05S4 delivered about 500 mAh g-1 in initial testing, maintained more than 460 mAh g-1 for over 70 cycles, and showed reversible sulfur-related structural changes during cycling.
The study models light-duty EV and PHEV batteries across Europe through 2045, linking vehicle adoption, operating lifetimes, used-vehicle trade, evolving chemistries, second-life storage, and recycling efficiencies to estimate the recoverable amounts of lithium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese. It projects a sharp rise in recoverable material from the late 2020s, but recycled-content targets remain difficult to meet, especially for cobalt, and high reuse reduces the cumulative material available for recycling by about 20%–25% over the study period.
For decades, nonproliferation scientists and engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have helped convert the fuel in dozens of research reactors around the world so that they operate safely and more securely.
Two engineering thermoplastics from NexPoint Materials – LEXAN™ BPL1000 and CYCOLOY™ C2950 resins – have achieved the highest rating in the UL 2597 Surface Tracking Test (STT) for high-voltage applications, at 900 V.
This study models how India’s expanding electric vehicle fleet could change demand for and requirements of lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and graphite through 2060 under several deployment and battery-chemistry scenarios. Under the baseline scenario, EV battery demand reaches about 965 GWh by 2060, while recycling could reduce cumulative lithium demand by up to 54% and offset much of the demand for cobalt and manganese.
Energy-efficient, reliable, modular: at EuroBLECH from 20 to 23 October, technotrans will present its comprehensive portfolio of spray lubrication systems for stamping and forming technology.
A research team led by Professor Boseok Kang of the SKKU Advanced Institute of Nanotechnology (SAINT), Department of Nano Engineering, and Department of Semiconductor Convergence Engineering has raised the doping efficiency of electrically conductive plastics (conducting polymers) to a world-class level by attaching specific molecules to them, and has for the first time elucidated the underlying operating mechanism.
Carbon fiber is a key component in automobile manufacturing, aerospace engineering and energy infrastructure, but it mostly relies on petroleum-derived products, which can be expensive and contribute to carbon emissions.
A review in Advanced Materials examines how biointegrated batteries are being engineered to combine energy storage with electrical stimulation, electrochemical therapy, and controlled drug delivery. The authors highlight how electrode chemistry, flexible and biodegradable materials, hydrogels, conductive polymers, and device architecture determine how these batteries interact with tissue and generate therapeutic outputs.
As offshore wind, distributed generation and cross-border electricity exchange expand, modern grids must move power over longer distances while serving more varied local needs.
