The way to boost electron transfer in grid-scale batteries is different than researchers had believed, a new study has shown. The liquid electrolytes in flow batteries provide a bridge to help carry ...

Physicists have created a new form of electron microscopy that can make "movies" of atoms as they undergo ultra-rapid chemical or structural transitions. Ahmed Zewail and colleagues at the California ...

This work answers, in part, why the material gets bogged down. Vanadium pentoxide’s layered atomic structure results in a vast surface area, but a bottleneck occurs. If scientists can address the ...

The liquid electrolytes in flow batteries provide a bridge to help carry electrons into electrodes, and that changes how chemical engineers think about efficiency. The way to boost electron transfer ...
