They published their work on Aug. 25 in Energy Material Advances. "Aqueous secondary batteries hold substantial promise for stationary energy storage," notes Professor Ying Bai, affiliated with the ...

Transition metals have long been used as catalysts to activate small molecules and turn them into valuable products. However, as these metals can be expensive and less abundant, scientists are ...

Lithium-based batteries are great, with different electrode chemistries allowing them to be slotted into a variety of uses. The problem with them has nothing to do with their performance. The ...

We teamed up with Cody's Lab to cut pure sodium metal. The sodium reacts explosively with water, creating fireballs and ...

Researchers in South Korea have successfully demonstrated the use of free ambient air as a fuel leveraging a sodium-based solid electrolyte to tackle the carbonate issue that has been holding back the ...

Heterogeneous catalysts speed up chemical reactions by being in a different state than the reactants. They are efficient and stable, even under challenging conditions such as high temperature or ...
