A lithium ion battery essentially works by using lithium (ions?!) to ferry electrons back and forth between a positive and a negative electrode. These are basically electrical freighters that load up ...

Magnesium ion battery technology has emerged as a promising alternative to lithium‐ion systems due to the natural abundance, high volumetric capacity and enhanced safety profile of magnesium. The ...

Tokyo University of Science is researching magnesium as a potential energy carrier to replace expensive and unsafe lithium-ion batteries. The research team focused on a novel cathode material with a ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a novel metal-organic, framework-based magnesium ion conductor with superionic conductivity, even at room temperature. Mg 2+ has poor solid-state conductivity ...

A team of researchers and industry collaborators, led by RMIT University in Melbourne, have developed recyclable “water batteries” to potentially mitigate safety concerns for large-scale grid energy.

In this case, the new clock uses an ion of aluminum linked to an ion of magnesium, forming what is known as a quantum logic clock. In this, the aluminum ion has a high-frequency, stable "tick." ...

Glass fibers from retired wind turbine blades can be converted into high-capacity silicon-carbon battery anodes, turning a ...

Scientists demonstrate a metal -- organic framework-based magnesium ion conductor showing superionic conductivity even at room temperature. The development of highly efficient energy storage devices ...
