Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are gaining traction as a next-generation technology to complement the widely used lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). NIBs offer clear advantages versus LIBs in terms of ...

Lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) are rechargeable batteries that contain an anode (i.e., the electrode through which current flows and a loss of electrons occurs) made of lithium metal. Compared to ...

Beijing Zhongke Journal Publising Co. Ltd. This study is led by Xin-Wen Zhou (College of Materials and Chemical Engineering at China Three Gorges University). The ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) is ...

Instead, sodium-ion batteries rely on “hard carbon,” a porous form of carbon that can hold sodium but also makes unwanted ...

The dissociation reaction is assisted by the platinum based catalyst on the electrode and the dissociation rate is determined by the supply of thermal energy from the surroundings.

Batteries supply electrons by undergoing reversible chemical reactions. That has meant that all the reactants have to be inside the battery, which adds to its weight and volume. Lithium-air batteries ...
