Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new design approach for lithium-aluminum alloy electrodes that could dramatically boost the performance and lifespan of solid-state batteries.

Without batteries, many modern devices would be inoperative. In this article, learn why pH level and conductivity are crucial parameters for battery performance.

Could your next eco-friendly battery be powered by yogurt microbes? A new study from Binghamton University explores how probiotics could fuel biodegradable electronics — opening the door for safer, bioresorbable tech applications in medicine and the environment.

In the race to meet the growing global demand for lithium — a critical component in batteries for electric vehicles — a team of researchers from Rice University’s Elimelech lab has developed a breakthrough lithium extraction method that could reshape the industry.

Measuring pH is not just a routine procedure in the laboratory; it is also a crucial parameter for assessing the condition of ecosystems, such as lakes, in the field. But what criteria should one use to select the appropriate pH meter? In this article, we have compiled some of them.

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries power everything from electric vehicles to wearable devices. But new research from Case Western Reserve University suggests that a more sustainable and cost-effective alternative may lie in zinc-based batteries.

A new quasi-solid-state lithium-ion battery developed by Japanese researchers offers enhanced safety, durability, and energy density. This technology could transform electric vehicles and devices, supporting the global push toward carbon neutrality.

The biogenic polyamine spermidine has received a lot of attention since it was scientifically shown to slow down the aging process when taken in adequate quantities. Determining the spermidine levels in foodstuffs requires the right analysis strategy given that many have a highly complex matrix. Scientists at the Westphalian University in Recklinghausen, Germany have developed an efficient, fully automated method based on HPLC-TOF-MS to determine spermidine in the “superfood” Apilarnil.

A new electrolyte design for lithium metal batteries could significantly boost the range of electric vehicles. Researchers at ETH Zurich have radically reduced the amount of environmentally harmful fluorine required to stabilise these batteries.

Researchers at Tokyo University of Science and Denso Corporation have discovered a groundbreaking pyrochlore-type oxyfluoride solid electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries. This new material promises to revolutionize the industry with its non-flammable nature, high energy density, and exceptional ionic conductivity, stable in air and efficient across a wide temperature range.
