After decades of lithium-ion batteries dominating the market, a new option has emerged: batteries made with sodium ions.

Lithium-ion batteries are reaching a saturation point; so it's time for a new technology - Silicon carbon. Here's everything ...

Group ions contain two or more atoms and usually have a negative charge. The formulae of these ions can be found in the data booklet. We can take the number of charges on the ion as the valency of ...

The formula of an ionic compound can be deduced from the formulae of its ions. Remember that for the metal elements in groups 1, 2, and 3 the charge on the ion can be deduced by how many outer ...

Chinese scientists have developed a new material that significantly reduces EV battery charging time without compromising ...

A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as ... An electron is transferred from sodium to chlorine. Sodium becomes a positive ...

Researchers have developed a new gas sensor capable of detecting trace amounts of electrolyte vapour in lithium-ion batteries ...

However, the complexity and fragility of BK channels have made studying them difficult. Calcium ions can trigger a BK channel to open its central passage or "pore," allowing a massive flow of ...

Researchers have turned leftover sediment from the distillation of baijiu into a material that improves the performance of sodium-ion batteries, a development that could help power the next ...
