Japanese researchers' new approach involving copper doping, solves the long-standing issue of stacking faults in sodium batteries.

This liquid metal is moving spontaneously. Researchers call it serpentine locomotion. It starts with the reaction of gallium in the metal with copper ions in the solution. This reaction creates a ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, a bacterium called Cupriavidus metallidurans is transforming toxic metals into gold, offering ...

Mar. 22, 2022 — Lithium-metal (Li-metal) batteries show great potential for packing more significant amounts of energy than the current lithium-ion batteries.

Na [Mn0.36Ni0.44Ti0.15Fe0.05]O2 predicted via machine learning for high energy Na-ion batteries. Journal of Materials Chemistry A, 2024; DOI: 10.1039/D4TA04809A ...

Many of the devices that make modern life convenient and efficient rely on rechargeable batteries. Lithium-ion batteries, one of the more common types used, are low cost and work at a high ...

NMR enables researchers to directly probe how fast lithium ions move at the interface between the lithium metal anode and its passivation layer, while also providing a readout of the chemical ...

The engineer, Sibani Lisa Biswal, found that spraying the anodes down sufficiently improves the battery life from anywhere between 22 to 44 percent. Further, battery cells with greater amounts of ...
