Rising demand for electronic devices and electric vehicles has increased the dependence on secondary ion batteries. While lithium-ion batteries are already popular, a promising alternative sodium-ion ...
A research team co-led by a UC Irvine chemistry professor has built a new kind of electrochemical device that strips salt ...
Researchers probed the transit of cations across a nanopore membrane for the generation of osmotic energy. The team controlled the passage of cations across the membrane using a voltage applied to a ...
Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, Israel's Tel Aviv University and other institutions have developed a ...
As a flame changes shape by the millisecond, its heat release and stability are affected. Purdue University researchers have created patent-pending methods to dynamically manipulate a flame — from ...
Despite their potential, solid-state batteries struggle to replace lithium-ion due to manufacturing hurdles and performance ...
Researchers from the Tokyo University of Science (TUS) have found that sodium-ion batteries (SIB) using hard carbon (HC) anodes can charge faster than lithium-ion batteries (LIB), challenging ...
