Most of the batteries we use these days, whether rechargeable or not, are generally self-contained affairs. They come in a sealed package, with the anode, cathode, and electrolyte all wrapped up ...

Scientists have pioneered a method to enable the reversible chemistry of magnesium metal in the noncorrosive carbonate-based electrolytes and tested the concept in a prototype cell. The technology ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers recently studied rechargeable batteries at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN). The CFN is a Department of Energy Office of Science user facility. The batteries ...

Magnesium-air batteries have emerged as a promising energy storage solution due to their high theoretical energy density and the abundance of magnesium. However, practical implementation has been ...

Anode-free metal batteries represent an exciting new design, where prefabricated anodes are eliminated to maximize energy ...

The “E-Magic” research project is set to receive over €6.7 million from the EU Horizon project. The aim is to develop new batteries the are more powerful, cheaper and safer than lithium-ion ones; and ...

This study is led by Prof Zhonghua Zhang (School of Materials Science and Engineering, Shandong University). Relatively arduous alloying reaction and sluggish diffusion kinetics of Sn-based anodes ...
