1+ day, 7+ hour ago   (669+ words) For Hugh Smith, the challenge of building an energy-secure future isn't about creating the world's "best" battery. It's about designing the right battery for the right job. "I've believed for a very long time that the biggest engineering problem humanity…...

1+ day, 5+ hour ago   (604+ words) A team of international researchers has found a way to turn carbon dioxide from dirty factory emissions directly into fuel without first cleaning or purifying the gas. The breakthrough, published in Nature Communications, overcomes one of the biggest challenges facing…...

1+ week, 2+ hour ago   (748+ words) Zinc is a preferable anode because each ion transfers two electrons, giving a high theoretical capacity of 820 mAh g-1, and its redox potential of -0.76 V versus the standard hydrogen electrode is suited to aqueous systems.1 Zinc is also stable enough in…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (291+ words) Nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes (e.g., NCA90) are considered some of the most advanced materials for high-energy lithium-ion batteries. Yet, under high-stress conditions, they remain unstable, posing a significant barrier to long-term use in electric vehicles and energy storage. Because the chemistry of…...
