‘Freeze-Thaw Battery’ Is Adept at Preserving Its Energy
Scientists have created a battery designed for the electric grid that locks in energy for months without losing much storage capacity.
Simple Process Extracts Valuable Magnesium Salt from Seawater
A new, simple, and efficient flow-based method allows researchers to pull a useful magnesium salt from natural seawater using easily available chemicals.
Understanding the Impacts of Dust and Sea Salt Mixing States on Nitrate Aerosol
How a model treats gas transfer behavior onto dust and sea salt particles significantly influences nitrate aerosols and their effects on climate.
ANODE-FREE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
An anode-free rechargeable battery is disclosed. The battery includes an anode current collector and a cathode containing an active cation M.sup.n+, where n=1, 2, or 3. The anode-free rechargeable battery further includes a separator placed between the anode current collector and the cathode. The anode-free rechargeable battery also includes an electrolyte including a salt or salt mixture containing an active cation M.sup.n+ dissolved in a solvent or solvent mixture.
Advanced Battery Facility
The Advanced Battery Facility was built to bridge the gap between fundamental battery research and commercial-scale battery development. The facility provides an ideal system for exploring a broad range of chemistries and materials.
Planar High Density Sodium Battery
A method of making a molten sodium battery is disclosed. A first metallic interconnect frame having a first interconnect vent hole is provided. A second metallic interconnect frame having a second interconnect vent hole is also provided. An electrolyte plate having a cathode vent hole and an anode vent hole is interposed between the metallic interconnect frames. The metallic interconnect frames and the electrolyte plate are sealed thereby forming gaseous communication between an anode chamber through the anode vent hole and gaseous communication between a cathode chamber through the cathode vent hole.
Discovery Opens Doors for Cheaper and Quicker Battery Manufacturing
Researchers discovered a new way to more efficiently and affordably create nickel-rich battery materials.
