Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge, Brookhaven and Idaho national laboratories and Stony Brook University have developed a novel approach to gain fundamental insights into molten salts, a heat transfer medium important to advanced energy technologies.
Severe energy and environmental problems have been caused by the surplus intake of fossil fuels. As a perfect alternative to fossil fuels, renewable biomass could be converted to chemicals and fuels.
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy—a method that calculates the frequencies produced by the nuclei of certain atoms exposed to radio waves in a powerful magnetic field—can be used to establish chemical and 3D structures as well as the dynamics of materials and molecules.
A research group led by Prof. Jeff Dahn of Dalhousie University published a novel study in the Journal of the Electrochemical Society that focuses on life cycle performance analysis of anode-free pouch cells, utilizing around 65 various kinds of electrolytes.
In an article recently published in the open-access journal Applied Surface Science Advances, researchers from the University of Sharjah, UAE, fabricated low-cost and recyclable electrodes by depositing iron and copper alloy on an aluminum sheet.
Given the current focus placed on environmental issues, it may come as no surprise to read that food waste and pollution from fashion consumption are among the most of prominent global issues right now.
Aerogels have received significant attention in recent years due to their unique properties and potential for applications such as thermal insulation. However, traditional silica aerogels can be brittle, which limits their use.
For years, researchers believed that the smaller the domain size in a ferroelectric crystal, the greater the piezoelectric properties of the material. However, recent findings by Penn State researchers have raised questions about this standard rule.
An article published in the journal Materials Today Nano demonstrated a novel method to utilize diamond wire saw silicon power (DWSSP) produced during the manufacturing of solar cells. The team illustrated a method for the conversion of DWSSP into a composite that demonstrated excellent cycling performance and retained discharge capacity and is ideal for use in lithium-ion anodes.
A team of researchers from Canada and China recently developed a new method to utilize doped carbon obtained from bamboo in silicon carbide and nitrogen-based supercapacitors. This research is published in Chemical Engineering Journal.
