When it comes to the special sauce of batteries, researchers have discovered it's all about the salt concentration. By getting the right amount of salt, right where they want it, they've demonstrated ...

The thermodynamic properties of electrolyte solutions play a pivotal role in understanding the behaviour of ionic species in diverse environments, ranging from natural waters to industrial processes.

Lithium-sulfur batteries can pack up to five times as much energy by weight as some lithium-ion batteries, in principle. In practice, experimental versions of the batteries have fallen short of ...

Researchers at the Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science have developed a ...

IMDEA Materials researchers are working on developing a new composite solid-state electrolyte (CSSE) with flame-retardant properties for lithium-ion batteries. The research aims to address one of the ...

Neutral particles can outpace diffusion in electric fields, shifting motion regimes over time; the model predicts behavior in ...

Many countries worldwide are increasingly investing in new infrastructure that enables the production of electricity from ...

The average person does not need to be adding anything to their water ...

Electrolytes are charged minerals that perform many functions in the body, including hydration, and must be kept in tight balance in the blood. Sodium (salt) is lost quickly through sweat, vomit, or ...
