Devices known as flow batteries attract a lot of attention from scientists looking for affordable solutions for grid-scale energy storage, but are they affordable enough? A team at MIT believes there ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Electrolysis, passing a current through water to break it into gaseous hydrogen and oxygen, could be a handy way to store excess energy from wind or solar power. The hydrogen can be ...

(Nanowerk News) Arrays of metal electrodes are often used in medical procedures that require monitoring or delivering electrical impulses in the body, such as brain surgery and epilepsy mapping.

Flow batteries are rather unique. They generate electricity by the combination of two fluids flowing on either side of a membrane. Typically, this involves the use of some kind of pump to get ...

Swedish scientists have developed a redox flow battery with polymer electrodes, based on a special conductive polymer known as PEDOT. The battery features a water-based electrolyte based on a solution ...

To meet urgent net-zero goals, the global energy system is shifting from fossil fuels to renewable sources such as solar and wind. Because these sources are intermittent, efficient storage and ...

The increasing demand for renewable energy resources, such as solar and wind power, necessitates the development of large-scale electrical energy-storage (EES) systems, for example, for load leveling ...

A Finnish research team has shown that semiconductor electrodes can split water into hydrogen using sunlight under real-world operating conditions, bridging a gap between laboratory theory and ...

A bamboo-inspired design helps ions move faster through thick energy storage materials, improving performance and enabling more efficient, scalable batteries and supercapacitors. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

UK researchers have used standard carbon paper electrodes modified with electrophoretically deposited nitrogen-doped graphene (N-G) to improve the electrochemical performance of hybrid redox flow ...

Can you imagine fully charging your cell phone in just a few seconds? Researchers in Drexel University’s College of Engineering can, and they took a big step toward making it a reality with their ...
