Spurred by concerns over cost, safety, and sourcing of raw materials, researchers are on the hunt for alternatives to lithium-ion batteries. Now, scientists have developed a proof-of-concept, ...

Renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, could help decrease the world's reliance on fossil fuels. But first, power companies need a safe, cost-effective way to store the energy for ...

Researchers demonstrate an anode-free design (i.e., zero-excess Zn), which is enabled by employing a nanocarbon nucleation layer. (© ACS) Aqueous zinc-based batteries have been previously explored for ...

Each configuration can serve its own purpose depending on the technology it is used for. 3D printed, printed, imprinted and linear Zn anodes are shown. Researchers have proposed a reconfiguration of ...

It is at once imperative and urgent to develop batteries capable of storing large amounts of energy if we are to successfully transition to economies and civilizations that are fully powered by ...

(Nanowerk News) Aqueous rechargeable zinc ion batteries are promising in electric grid storage due to their low cost and intrinsic safety. However, their practical implementation is hindered by poor ...

Researchers from Tsinghua University and the University of Technology Sydney conducted a study published in Energy Materials and Devices. The study provides an in-depth analysis of recent advancements ...

SACRIFICIAL anodes that normally streak the hulls of floating vessels are missing from the underside of BP's Thunder Horse semi-submersible production unit, prompting the UK supermajor to do a quick ...
