Conceived by scientists in China, the battery was built with a special hydrogel electrolyte made of polyacrylamide (PAM), zinc sulfate (ZnSO4), glycerol (GL), and acetonitrile (AN). The device showed ...
Researchers in Japan have adopted a new calcium-doping strategy to improve the stability and electrochemical properties of NFM, a cathode material used in sodium-ion batteries. The new technique ...
As the global demand for sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions continues to rise, the development of advanced energy storage materials becomes increasingly important. Solid-state sodium-ion ...
For many years, cesium atomic clocks have been reliably keeping time around the world. But the future belongs to even more accurate clocks: optical atomic clocks. In a few years' time, they could ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Lithium-ion batteries, with their high energy density and long lifetimes, have dominated the rechargeable battery market for decades. However, lithium's scarcity and rising cost ...
Sodium-ion batteries are being investigated as a viable cost-effective, more environmentally friendly, and easier-to-source alternative to lithium-ion. 60% capacity is retained after 300 cycles.
