The MIT study has created a new model, called the Coupled Ion-Electron Transfer (CIET) model, to advance lithium-ion batteries. The new model redefines the fundamental chemical reaction known as ...

It’s the beginning of a “dual chemistry era” as sodium-ion batteries have overcome all hurdles to enter mass production. ​ ...

Gas‐phase ion chemistry remains a vibrant field that elucidates fundamental interatomic and intermolecular interactions through the study of charged species in isolation. The investigation of bond ...

Sodium‑ion batteries are emerging as a safer, lower-cost alternative to lithium‑ion, with a recent international study highlighting their competitiveness in stationary energy storage. The research ...

The largest Chinese battery manufacturer - Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (CATL) - has announced today the first generation of sodium-ion batteries. The sodium-ion batteries are not new.

The work, led by Chunsheng Wang at the University of Maryland, offers a relatively simple way to make lithium-ion batteries more durable using standard materials and ...

At a time when many lithium-ion battery makers are slowing down, Natron Energy has announced that it will build the first large-scale sodium-ion battery factory in the US. Natron’s $1.4 billion ...

Electrochemical processes in devices like solar cells, fuel cells, lithium batteries, and water desalination systems rely on the safe, efficient, and robust transport of anions and cations between ...

Two years ago, sodium-ion battery pioneer Natron Energy was busy preparing its specially formulated sodium batteries for mass production. The company slipped a little past its 2023 kickoff plans, but ...

For the past 5 years, chemical engineer Ankur Gupta of the University of Colorado Boulder has wondered what rules govern the diffusion of ions through the winding nanoscale tunnels within a ...

For the experiment, an intense femtosecond ultraviolet laser pulse was employed to induce resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization in 1,3-dibromopropane (1,3-DBP) molecules. The picosecond and ...
