A sodium-doped, transition metal-free amorphous SiBN ceramic, composed of silicon (Si), boron (B), and nitrogen (N), was designed for small molecule activation and catalysis. The strategic ...

They published their work on Aug. 25 in Energy Material Advances. "Aqueous secondary batteries hold substantial promise for stationary energy storage," notes Professor Ying Bai, affiliated with the ...

Researchers in South Korea have successfully demonstrated the use of free ambient air as a fuel leveraging a sodium-based solid electrolyte to tackle the carbonate issue that has been holding back the ...

Layered transition-metal oxides are among the most promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries because of their high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, conventional designs rely on ...

Lithium-based batteries are great, with different electrode chemistries allowing them to be slotted into a variety of uses. The problem with them has nothing to do with their performance. The ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

The enzyme Na⁺-NQR is a sodium pump that drives the respiration of many marine and pathogenic bacteria. Using redox reactions, the process of exchanging electrons between materials, it powers the ...

The science pros at TKOR test what happens when playing with sodium metal, showing explosive reactions, chemistry, and ...
