In our daily lives, lithium-ion batteries have become indispensable. They function only because of a passivation layer that forms during their initial cycle. As researchers found out via simulations, ...

Lithium-air batteries are devices, producing power just out of air so they are also called lithium-oxygen batteries. Due to higher energy density they are much lighter than lithium-ion ones.

Scientists studying a lithium-ion battery with an iron-oxide electrode as it charged and discharged over 100 cycles found that the loss is due to a buildup of lithium oxide and decomposition of the ...

ADELPHI, Md. -- A team of Army scientists working on more efficient batteries recently published new findings in a peer-reviewed publication from the American Chemical Society. In an invited paper ...

Recently, the project ‘Key Technologies for High-Efficiency Crystalline Silicon Full-Back Electrode Passivated Contact Solar Cells’, spearheaded by Ji ...

(Nanowerk News) A bit of brushing may be the secret to making better rechargeable lithium batteries. The Rice University lab of chemist James Tour introduced a technique to tune the surface of anodes ...

Industrial electrochemical processes that use electrodes to produce fuels and chemical products are hampered by the formation of bubbles that block parts of the electrode surface, reducing the area ...

(Nanowerk News) Electrodes are the core element of monitoring systems. Today's electrodes for detecting electrical muscle signals (EMG) or neuronal signals (EEG) are made of metal and provided with a ...
