While preventing the degradation of capacity over the first five years of use is a significant advancement in increasing the lifespan of batteries, the zero degradation of power is also important for ...

Alternative battery technologies, hybrid energy storage, and the use of AI-based solutions drive advances in battery energy storage systems.

Researchers in the Netherlands developed a model to identify tolerable degradation rates of the top cell in perovskite-silicon tandem modules. Simulations showed that an increase in tandem module ...

Vanadium offers unique characteristics as a battery material, as it can shed electrons without shifting from its ionic state, ensuring high cycling stability. South Korea’s Standard Energy has ...

Around a fifth of solar panels examined in a new study fail much faster than expected and some may last for only half their ...

Iridium oxide is one of the most important—and most problematic—materials in the global push toward clean energy. It is ...

The study shows that the buildup on battery electrodes is a side effect, not the root cause, of performance loss. Researchers found that the solid electrolyte interphase layer is semi-conductive, ...

Life on Earth has long been understood to run on two main energy sources. One comes from sunlight, captured by photosynthesis. The other comes from chemical reactions, such as microbes feeding on ...
