To meet urgent net-zero goals, the global energy system is shifting from fossil fuels to renewable sources such as solar and wind. Because these sources are intermittent, efficient storage and ...

(Nanowerk News) Batteries have become an integral component of modern technology. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) can be found virtually everywhere, from handheld electronic devices and electric vehicles ...

A new study finds the wettability of porous electrode surfaces is key to making efficient water-splitting or carbon-capturing systems. Using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen can be ...

In recent years, porous two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, carbon nitride, and boron nitride have garnered a lot of interest due to their unique ...

Wearable electronics face a constant foe: sweat. To help sweat escape and reduce skin irritation caused by wearing devices for long periods, researchers have designed electrodes from porous materials, ...

(Nanowerk News) Using electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen can be an effective way to produce clean-burning hydrogen fuel, with further benefits if that electricity is generated from ...
