Next-generation materials capable of enhancing energy storage are being developed by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Argonne National Laboratory in partnership with Strem Chemicals, Inc for the battery research community and industry.
A team of materials researchers at the Swiss Paul Scherrer Institute PSI in Villigen and the ETH Zurich have created a highly simple and cost-efficient process for considerably improving the performance of traditional Li-ion rechargeable batteries.
A new means of maximizing the efficiency of perovskite solar cells, found in the nanoscale valleys and peaks of the material, has been discovered by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab).
Two groups of chemists at the Universities of Basel and Zurich have reproduced an important phase of the natural photosynthesis process using artificial molecules, making the process of harvesting energy from sunlight easier. The international edition of the journal Angewandte Chemie has published the results of the study.
A team of researchers from the University of North Carolina located at Chapel Hill and the University of British Columbia have found a unique method to maximize the transfer of electrons in semi-conductors that are used in solar fuel solutions.
The 2015 movie “The Martian” shows how a stranded astronaut, Matt Damon, attempts to create lifesaving water using the chemistry of rocket fuel, hydrogen and hydrazine, and almost blows himself up. However, if the process is turned around with the help of hydrazine, hydrogen can be produced from water by simply altering the semiconductor’s conductivity. This breakthrough has great potential for electronics and energy applications.
A team of researchers from the Department of Energy at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has partnered with Wisconsin-based Eck Industries and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) to create aluminum alloys that have easier workability and better tolerance to heat than currently available products.
Extra power can be used for the decentralized production of chemicals so as to even out the spikes in power grids caused due to uneven regenerative energy conversion from sun or wind.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have for the first time developed microscopic movies depicting the vaporization of liquids by an X-ray laser, which is considered to be the brightest in the world.
A scientist from UT Dallas has discovered a new method that could make mobile phones and car batteries last five times longer than the present ones.
