But one aspect – the texture of the metals used – has been historically overlooked.

To create the new batteries needed for electric vehicles, mobile devices and renewable energy storage, researchers have ...

He also gave the reaction a jump-start with a small amount of sodium metal, which can be produced by the lower-yielding but far more spectacular thermochemical dioxane method; lithium harvested ...

A new paper has demonstrated that improving the texture of the soft metal used in battery anodes greatly improved performance. The team added a thin layer of silicon between lithium metal and the ...

To create the new batteries needed for EVs, mobile devices and renewable energy storage, researchers have explored new materials, new designs, new ...

A small piece of sodium metal is placed in a flask of chlorine gas. A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic ...
