The past decade has seen remarkable progress in the field of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), a next-generation technology that offers a lower cost and easier to manufacture alternative to conventional silicon solar cells.
In a world of continuously warmer temperatures, a growing consensus demands that energy sources have zero, or next-to-zero, carbon emissions. That means growing beyond coal, oil, and natural gas by getting more energy from renewable sources.
Gas-insulated equipment (GIE) that utilizes the most potent greenhouse gas sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as insulation and arc-quenching medium has been widely used in the power industry. Seeking eco-friendly insulating gas with advanced performance for next-generation SF6-free GIE is significant for the "net-zero" goal and sustainable development.
This research is headed by Prof. Ji Qian and Prof. Renjie Chen (Department of Energy and Environmental Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology). In this study, fluorinated cyclic carbonate (DFEC) is led into an ether electrolyte as an SEI-forming additive.
Recent research guided by the University of Oxford researchers may bring improved electric vehicle (EV) batteries one step closer.
Swansea University researchers from the SPECIFIC Innovation and Knowledge Centre and the COATED M2A program have teamed up with researchers from the University of Bath to make a revolutionary innovation in thermal storage research—designing a new efficient material that is easy to scale and can be sized and shaped to fit multiple applications.
When it comes to supplying energy for space exploration and settlements, readily accessible silicon or gallium arsenide solar cells are still too heavy to be delivered by rocket.
High entropy oxides (HEOs) have been tentatively and prospectively applied for catalysis and energy storage. However, it is hard to further enhance its performance due to the difficult regulation of HEOs' physical-chemical properties.
NanoGraf, an advanced battery materials company and enabler of the world’s most energy-dense lithium-ion 18650 cell, and South 8 Technologies, developers of a novel liquefied gas electrolyte (LiGas®) for the next generation of safe and high-performance lithium-ion batteries, today announced a joint $550,000 award from the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) to pair NanoGraf’s 3.8 Ah 18650 cell with South 8’s electrolyte for cold temperature and safety testing.
Investigators have succeeded in producing slow electrons in a solution. In the future, such electrons might aid in the efficacy of certain chemical reactions.
