Normally, when liquids solidify, their molecules become locked in place, making it much harder for ions to move and leading ...

Oxide ion conductors used in solid-state fuel cells often fail to reach full potential when operating at temperatures below 500 degrees Celsius, but researchers have recently found a solution to this ...

A porous polymer membrane separates the anode and the cathode to prevent a short circuit. The electrolyte is the final component, usually a conductive salt solution, that facilitates the transport of ...

Lithium-ion batteries provide the energy source for the device displaying these words. These batteries play a crucial role in powering a wide range of technology in the modern world, including phones, ...

Tokyo Tech researchers demonstrated high conductivity and stability in bismuth-containing Sillén oxyhalides with triple fluorite-like layers (e.g. 10 mS/cm at 431 o C; 204 times higher conductivity ...
