White-hot liquid silicon could be the key to storing the vast amounts of energy needed to run a renewables-based national power grid, according to MIT, which claims it “would be vastly more affordable than lithium-ion batteries” and “would cost about half as much as pumped hydroelectric storage, the cheapest form of grid-scale energy storage to ...

Room-temperature fluorine-ion batteries are possible, according to computer simulations by a team of scientist in the US – potentially leading to an anion-based rechargeable battery to trump cation-based technology like Li-ion. “Fluoride-based battery electrodes can store more ions per site than typical lithium-ion electrodes, which means that this technology has the capability to be much more ...

Polydimethylglutarimide (PMGI) is the key to positioning sensors made from 2D materials permanently onto curved surfaces, according to Rice University in Texas. Its research team was seeking a sacrificial layer – one on which 2D materials could be made, then used as a carrier film for transport to the target surface, while disappearing once the ...
