Scientists have discovered a groundbreaking material that expands when crushed, shrinks when heated, and could not only reset ...

Pyrovanadates are deemed as an ideal class of potential Calcium ion storage hosts, owing to abundant confined species. However, the higher Coulombic hinderance brings about more sluggish diffusion ...

As part of a long-term research collaboration, battery researchers from the University of Chicago Pritzker School of ...

Redox reactions form the basis of many fundamental ... High-pressure pump–probe experiments reveal the mechanism of excited-state proton-coupled electron transfer and a shift from stepwise ...

The spontaneity of redox reactions is demonstrated using copper, zinc, and silver, and their cations. When solid zinc is placed in Cu2+ solution, the blue color of the solution becomes less intense as ...

Scientists in China have announced a breakthrough in redox flow battery (RFB) technology by achieving an 87.9% energy efficiency and a cycling life of 850 cycles. This addresses critical limitations ...

Chemists reveal method for differentiating PCET mechanisms -- a key step for steering fundamental energy conversion and redox catalysis processes. Redox reactions form the basis of many ...

Reduction is the gain of electrons by a substance. It is also the loss of oxygen from a substance. For example, copper(II) oxide can be reduced to form copper when it reacts with hydrogen: ...
