Lithium-ion batteries have taken the world by storm thanks to their remarkable properties. However, the scarcity and high cost of lithium has led researchers to look for alternative types of rechargeable batteries made using more abundant materials, such as sodium. One particularly promising type of sodium-based battery is seawater batteries (SWBs), which use seawater as the cathode.
An article has been published in the journal ACS Energy Letters by researchers in China regarding the incorporation of solid Li storage technology with aqueous redox flow battery systems to advocate for the creation of an unconventional battery structure.
Batteries are a key technology for the rapid electrification of industry and society, helping the world to achieve net zero carbon emissions and mitigate the damage to the climate brought about by human activity.
Optimizing renewable energy for off-grid generation and storage is a key area of renewable energy research. Writing in the journal Sustainability, a team of researchers has developed a novel bonobo optimizer technique for optimizing an off-grid hybrid renewable energy system.
At the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stanford University, scientists have fabricated a new material for computer components allowing the commercial practicality of computers that has the ability to mimic the human brain.
Prof. WANG Zhenyang's research group from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has enhanced the energy storage capacity of graphene supercapacitors via solar heating. Related research results were published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A.
Plant biomass may help offer the solution by acting as a renewable resource for biomaterials and biofuels production for the global search and demand for highly sustainable sources of energy and materials.
A structured thermal armor (STA) has been recently created by a research group headed by scientists from the City University of Hong Kong (CityU). It is capable of achieving efficient liquid cooling of more than 1,000 °C, basically resolving a 266-year-old challenge posed by the Leidenfrost effect.
Superionic conductors promise clean, renewable energy -; at the right temperatures. These conductors, used as solid electrolytes in batteries and fuel cells, comprise solid materials in which ions move as fast as in liquids.
In the latest article published in the journal Ceramics International, Chinese researchers have prepared FeS-graphene composites using single-step pyrolytic sulfidation processes by utilizing organic alcohol as a deep eutectic solvent.
