It was 2007. Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the iPhone, J. K. Rowling finished her seventh and final Harry Potter novel, and the worst financial crisis since the 1930s was about to hit. It was also ...

Scientists in the United States working with silicon anodes for lithium-ion batteries have managed to model key mechanisms that lead to fast developing performance loss in the anodes. Understanding ...

The buzz around silicon-based anodes, which promise improved power and faster charging capabilities for EVs, has been growing in recent months – just as the hype around solid-state batteries seems to ...

University of Utah engineering researchers develop a steam-powered fix for ‘sulfur poisoning’ in fuel cells, devices that both generate and store electricity. The team’s rhodium-infused anodes could ...

In recent years, the quest for next-generation, high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries led to anodes with more silicon in place of commonly used graphite. That is due to the abundant, non-toxic ...

Researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology (QIBEBT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed low-cost micro-sized silicon anodes from recycled photovoltaic ...

Lithium-ion batteries are powering a revolutionary transition to electric vehicles. But booming battery use will eventually create a mountain of spent batteries—and very few are currently recycled. A ...

Solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs) are a leading technology for carbon dioxide reduction and energy conversion, offering high current densities, excellent Faradaic efficiency, and low ...
