Lithium-ion battery creator John Goodenough dies
8+ hour, 46+ min ago (183+ words) Turkmenportal.com John Goodenough, creator of the lithium-ion battery and Nobel Prize winner, died on June 25 at the age of 100. This was reported at the University of Texas, where he has worked since 1986. The cause of death was not disclosed....
Tea-Grown Nickel Oxide Nanoparticles Turn Chitosan Films Into Tunable
11+ hour, 30+ min ago (617+ words) A team of materials scientists has shown that ordinary green tea can do far more than steep a soothing drink: its polyphenol-rich extract can grow phase-pure nickel oxide nanoparticles that, when embedded in a biodegradable chitosan matrix, transform a humble…...
Atomic Swap in Two-Dimensional Nitrides Unlocks Five New Water-Splitting
13+ hour, 49+ min ago (506+ words) A single-atom substitution could transform one of the most exciting families of two-dimensional materials from a laboratory curiosity into a working engine for solar fuels....
Discarded Lithium-Ion Batteries Brought Back to Life With Thermochemical
15+ hour, 12+ min ago (641+ words) Every electric vehicle that rolls off an assembly line today carries within it a promise of cleaner transportation and, eventually, a difficult waste problem. Lithium-ion batteries degrade with use, and when they can no longer hold enough charge to propel…...
Recycled Battery Cathode Material Pulls Toxic Blue Dye from Water Without
16+ hour, 2+ min ago (94+ words) The blue dye that colors denim, candies, and medicines may soon face an unexpected adversary: the discarded remains of old cellphone batteries. In a study published in Discover Industrial Chemistry and Materials, a team of Brazilian researchers led by Eric…...
Atomic Engineering Turns Metallic 2D Materials Into Clean Energy
17+ hour, 39+ min ago (73+ words) A new comprehensive review published in Advances in Industrial and Engineering Chemistry maps out how scientists are transforming an extraordinary class of atomically thin materials into workhorses for the clean energy transition. Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, or TMDs, are layered…...
Rod-Shaped Molybdenum Oxide Nanocrystals Crush Toxic Dye Under Simple
20+ hour, 20+ min ago (537+ words) A humble transition-metal oxide, grown in a laboratory autoclave and shaped by nothing more exotic than temperature, has delivered one of the more striking demonstrations of visible-light water purification reported this year....
Fragrant Coumarin Bond Helps Organic Material Split Water Into Hydrogen
22+ hour, 10+ min ago (428+ words) Hydrogen has long been billed as the clean fuel of the future, and the most elegant way to make it would be to pull it straight out of water using nothing but sunlight. The obstacle is not a lack of…...
Halogen Chemistry Lifts Sulfur Batteries to a Higher Voltage
22+ hour, 45+ min ago (623+ words) Lithium-sulfur batteries have spent decades promising an energy-storage revolution that never quite arrived. On paper, the chemistry is extraordinary: sulfur is abundant, cheap, and capable in principle of storing several times more energy per kilogram than the intercalation cathodes used…...
Paper bags and cardboard boxes normally headed for the trash were carbonized into anodes for lithium-ion batteries, and the resulting electrodes survived 1,200 charge cycles — roughly twice the durability of anodes used in current phone batteries
1+ day, 2+ hour ago (441+ words) By Science Blog Editorial Team Published September 12, 2026 · How we edit A paper bag that carried someone’s lunch on Tuesday has a plausible future inside a phone. Researchers at NTU Singapore have worked out how to bake kraft paper, the brown…...
