Turning plastic into solid carbon is not easy. Heat the polymers to rearrange their carbon atoms, and they decompose into light hydrocarbons and gases. But researchers at the US National Energy ...

Researchers from the Tokyo University of Science (TUS) have found that sodium-ion batteries (SIB) using hard carbon (HC) anodes can charge faster than lithium-ion batteries (LIB), challenging ...

Interfacial Cross-Linking of Phenolic Resin and Pitch for Enhanced Sodium Storage in HC. Anodes.This schematic illustrates the synthesis process of hard carbon (HC) anodes with improved sodium storage ...

A research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has demonstrated ultrafast and highly reversible all-slope sodium storage using specially engineered ...

Research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society demonstrates a new way to make carbon-based battery ...

YouTuber The Science Furry has been attempting to make a split-anode magnetron and, after earlier failures, is having another crack at it. This also failed, but they’ve learned where to focus their ...

In a recent study published in Small, researchers introduced a three-dimensional, freestanding porous carbon nanofiber (PCNF) structure embedded with silicon oxide (SiOx), designed to address critical ...

Researchers created a covalently bridged fullerene framework, which shows that carbon can store lithium in a completely different and much more stable way, avoiding structural collapse and preventing ...

The Hydrogen Stream: Equatic making anodes to produce H2 from seawater Equatic says it has started annual production of 4,000 anodes for hydrogen generation from seawater in Singapore and Canada, ...

Battery innovation doesn’t always get the spotlight, but maybe it should. After all, it’s one of the few things that truly defines the day-to-day user experience. Over the years, smartphone processors ...
