When a bike gets wet in the rain, the frame and chain can corrode or rust, shortening the life of the bike, so regular oiling is required to prevent this from happening. Batteries are devices that move electrons to generate electricity by triggering oxidation and reduction reactions, respectively, but can also corrode when exposed to oxygen. So, does lubricating a battery prevent rust? On August 13th, according to foreign media reports, a research team led by Yong-TaeKim, a professor of materials science and eng

Scientists at Skoltech Center for Energy Science and Technology have developed a rich and scalable approach to increasing the capacity of a wide range of metal-ion battery cathode materials. These findings, published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A, could be used to develop a new generation of advanced rechargeable energy storage devices. The creation of the modern lithium-ion battery was made possible thanks to a few scientific breakthroughs. One of them is a cathode material containing reversible extra

Scientists have discovered the exact mechanism that causes damage to new solar cells and proposed a possible solution. Solar cells harness energy from the sun, providing an alternative to non-renewable energy sources such as fossil fuels. However, they face challenges with expensive manufacturing processes and low efficiency -- the amount of sunlight that can be converted into usable energy. Perovskites are materials being developed for next-generation solar cells. Although perovskites can be manufactured mor

According to foreign media reports, Ricardo (Ricardo) UK announced that it has cooperated with Ilikatechnologies, UK Technology Innovation Center-Centre for Process Innovation, Honda R&DE Europe and University College London (University College) to carry out the PowerDriveLine project. The 30-month collaboration will develop lithium-based solid-state Stereaxä batteries for plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles, establish a pilot line for solid-state batteries, and develop processes for the solid-state ba

Technological innovation is the direct driving force for the development of the power lithium-ion battery industry. In terms of medium-term goals, the application of high-nickel, lithium-rich manganese, and lithium supplements has accelerated; in terms of long-term goals, the critical point of industrialization of solid-state batteries and fuel-powered lithium batteries is approaching. "The more treacherous the situation, the more calm and composed it is." After nearly ten months of baptism in the indu

A new combination of materials developed by researchers at Stanford University in the US could help create a rechargeable battery that can efficiently store large amounts of emerging renewable energy from wind to solar. With further development, this technology could deliver energy to the grid quickly, at low cost, and at normal ambient temperatures.(Lithium - Ion Battery Equipment) Known as flow battery technology, the technology has long been considered one of the options for storing intermittent renewable ene

Donald Sadowy, a professor of materials chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his students invented a large-capacity liquid metal battery. Now, his team has discovered a new chemical component -- calcium -- that could make the technology cheaper and more practical, opening the way for large-scale applications of liquid metal batteries. Their latest study, published in the journal Nature Communications, shows that calcium -- an abundant and cheap chemical element -- could be an important raw ma

The Ministry of Science and Technology's 863 plan energy storage battery major project, supported by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shandong Province Outstanding Youth Fund and other research projects, the bionic energy and energy storage system team of Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Process Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, after more than 3 years of scientific research, has made breakthroughs in the field of power lithium-ion battery separators, successfully developed a power lithium-ion battery se

Nature always brings infinite enlightenment to human beings. Many inventions that benefit mankind are also inspired by nature. For example, the birth of the world's first gas masks was inspired by the nose of wild boars; Less camouflage equipment; Viper's thermal eye function research has developed a miniature thermal sensor and so on. There are countless examples of this. The self-healing ability of leaves to prevent sunburn, which evolved over tens of millions of years, may help them develop renewable sol
