A GIF showing ion movement in an organic electrolyte in both a disordered fluid state and a self-assembled crystalline state. Green dots representing negative ions move erratically between long, ...

A research team has successfully designed a novel electrolyte for fluoride shuttle batteries based on a new concept. The ...

They also want to explore what other types of molecules they can make using chiral supporting electrolyte. "I think this technology could, in the future, be used in industry, but going from academic ...

Researchers are working to improve battery technology in all kinds of ways, and among the most important is addressing the issue of flammability. Scientists have cooked up a new electrolyte recipe ...

For scientists working to create the next generation of batteries, water has typically been the enemy. For example, lithium-ion batteries typically need to be produced under extremely dry conditions ...

Electrolytes sit at the heart of modern electrochemical energy storage. They control how ions move, how interfaces form, how stable a battery remains over time, and ultimately how safe and efficient ...

The combustion of oil, coal or natural gas produces carbon dioxide, or CO 2. This notorious greenhouse gas is a major driver of global warming, but it is also a raw material. It is technically ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has demonstrated that liquid electrolytes, when frozen, can still facilitate lithium-ion conduction sufficient for battery operation—challenging the traditional ...

Developing longer-lasting, more-efficient electrolytes better than those engineered more than three decades ago has been difficult. Electrolytes enable the batteries in everything from your cell phone ...

An explanation for why flow batteries using the metal cerium in a sulfuric acid electrolyte fall short on voltage could pave the way for better battery chemistry. An explanation for why flow batteries ...
