energy storage

The world is facing serious issues that are related to global warming due to the excessive use of coal and petroleum

Scientists chemically treated the surface of wire-looking nanostructures made of zinc oxide to apply a uniform coating of titanium dioxide; these semiconducting nanowires could be used as high-activity catalysts for solar fuel production

The major obstacle for commercialization is the stability of perovskite devices

Solar cell coating minimizes leakage of pollutants

The new anode could help create a safer high energy lithium metal battery

Determining how the ions of the liquid move and rearrange in response to an applied voltage on electrodes is key to optimizing the performance of ionic liquids for energy storage devices

Scientists have long sought to use nanowires in batteries.

Researchers' findings demonstrate that renewable pollens could produce carbon architectures for anode applications in energy storage devices

Controlling surface chemistry could lead to higher-capacity, faster-charging batteries for electronics, vehicles, and energy-storage applications
