Lithium-sulfur batteries have exceptional theoretical capacity and performance in combination with an element in abundant supply. But the intricate reaction mechanism, particularly during discharge, ...

The reactions between protons and lithium isotopes, especially lithium-6, are pivotal for several domains ranging from nuclear energy applications to astrophysics. The detailed understanding of these ...

The Haber-Bosch process is the industrial approach for NH 3 production today, which must be operated at energy-intensive high temperatures and pressures. The reduction of dinitrogen (N 2) by ...

Batteries are part of everyday life, powering everything from phones and laptops to electric cars. Most rechargeable ...

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries, given their light weight and theoretical high capacities, are a promising alternative to conventional lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries for large-scale energy storage ...

Researchers at U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a new imaging technique that allows them to observe lithium-ion reactions in real time with nanoscale ...

Researchers offer a more predictive alternative to trial and error for evaluating materials at some of a battery’s most ...

During battery (dis)charging, lithium (de)intercalation in electrodes is usually spatially non-uniform across multiple length scales. Such phenomenon is a major impediment to battery performance and ...

Researchers have designed a new lithium-air battery that can store much more energy per volume of battery than today's lithium-ion designs. The new battery uses a solid composite electrolyte based on ...
