A paperlike battery electrode developed by a Kansas State University engineer may improve tools for space exploration or unmanned aerial vehicles.
Dan Blondal, CEO of Nano One Materials Corp. announced today that Nano One has successfully produced high-voltage cobalt-free lithium ion battery cathode materials. Testing shows that this Nano One material has advantages over commercial equivalents.
Some metal oxides can increase capacity and optimize the cycling performance of lithium-ion batteries, according to material scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). They produced three graphene metal oxide (GMO) nanocomposites and compared their electrochemical performance. What they determined was two of the nanocomposites were able to significantly improve reversible lithium storage capacity.
Cellular environment is a disorganized space, where the movement and quantity of proteins and molecules are found to be in continuous instability. The performance of a cell can be discovered by predicting the fluctuating depth of a process or protein. These predictions are difficult to pinpoint in the open system of a cell, where everything can appear in a chaotic manner.
Solar fuels are clean fuels harvested from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide, and they provide a way of storing solar energy, for instance in hydrogen or hydrocarbons. However efficiency is still a concern for this technology. Kasper Wenderich of the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology of the University of Twente has created special nanosized plates with platinum particles on them to speed up the chemical conversion. As part of his PhD thesis, he determined the reason why the reduced effect of these particles is lower than generally expected.
Nano One Materials Corp. (“Nano One or the Company”) is pleased to announce the issuance of Taiwanese Patent No. 201207152 related to batteries utilizing the proprietary lithium mixed metal oxides developed by Nano One. The method for making the proprietary oxides is discussed in previously issued U.S. Patent Nos. 9,136,534 and 9,159,999.
The more powerful the phone, the higher the demand on the battery. This can result in frequent charging, increasing the inconvenience for users and restricting the performance of the phone. A possible solution could be the development of new transistor materials that use less power, and prolong the battery’s life. One candidate materials is a piezoelectric material, which can change shape or become 'strained' after voltage is applied. This feature can be utilized to develop digital switches, which provide better speeds and low power consumption, along with a reduction in size.
Batteries that power common devices of modern life, from computers and smartphones to electrically driven cars, are often made of toxic materials, like lithium, that are not easy to dispose of and have a limited global supply. However, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new system to generate electricity, which utilizes heat instead of toxic materials or metals.
Hydrogen is the most plentiful and lightest element on Earth and in the Universe. Scientists are trying to develop hydrogen as a carbon-free, clean, limitless fuel source for cars as well as other applications, such as telecommunication towers and portable generators, with water being the only combustion byproduct.
The successful future of fuel cells relies on improving the performance of the catalysts they use. Gold nanoparticles have been cited as an ideal solution, but creating a uniform, useful catalyst has proven elusive. However, a team of researchers at Kyushu University's International Institute for Carbon-Neutral Energy Research (I2CNER) devised a method for using a new type of catalyst support.
