Scientists unveil a solid electrolyte that moves lithium as fast as liquids, promising safer, fast-charging batteries.

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

The freeze-out effect has been the primary barrier to developing solid-state batteries as powerful as their liquid-filled ...

Discover how scientists created a new family of organic materials that conduct ions equally well as liquids, liquid crystals ...

BORDENTOWN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--It is generally assumed that solid polymer electrolytes have poor ionic conductivity at room temperature. Nuvvon has turned this notion on its head. Third-party ...

A 2024 review by Sau, Orimo, and co-workers reveals universal design principles for fast ion conductors by organizing ...

As electric cars grow in popularity, automobile makers are looking to pack more energy per volume into the cars’ batteries. One possible approach is to use batteries with lithium-metal anodes and ...

When it comes to efficiency, silicon solar cells set standards. But especially for photovoltaic elements with particularly high efficiencies, silicon production is both complex and expensive.

Balancing electronic and ionic charge carriers in polymer nanofilms significantly improves physical reservoir computing, a ...

Scientists have created a new family of organic materials that stay conductive in the solid state. The new materials conduct ...
