Solvated electrons are powerful reagents in the liquid phase that break chemical bonds and thereby create additional reactive species, including hydrogen atoms. We explored the distinct chemistry that ...

Grinding PTFE with chunks of sodium metal creates sodium fluoride in a solvent-free reaction that aims to avoid landfills ...

Researchers claim a technology breakthrough that could help solve some of the barriers to the development of potentially low cost and longer lasting sodium-ion batteries.

A seed crystal can be dropped into a saturated solution of sodium acetate. The solution will suddenly crystallize and turn to solid. Alternately, the solution may be slowly poured out onto a seed ...

They published their work on Aug. 25 in Energy Material Advances. "Aqueous secondary batteries hold substantial promise for stationary energy storage," notes Professor Ying Bai, affiliated with the ...
