Increasing fluids, including water, juice, and broths or soups, can help kids stay hydrated—especially while sick—but sometimes an electrolyte supplement is helpful. In fact, Caitlin Waddle ...

Researchers have developed a new hydrogel electrolyte that, combined with a Prussian blue cathode, enhances sodium-zinc ...

The battery-tech startup that spun out of Stanford University and based in San Jose, California, announced this week its ...

Superionic materials are a class of materials that simultaneously present properties that are characteristic of solids and ...

The basic lemon battery is remarkably simple. Lemon juice provides the electrolyte, while copper and and zinc act as electrodes. This battery won’t have a hope of charging your Tesla ...

The liquid electrolyte in today’s cells, a flammable organic solvent, is absorbed by the three materials (anode, cathode, and separator), all somewhat spongy. Unlike a lead-acid starter battery ...

Because of its chemical reactivity with the sulfur cathode and other battery components, one such tactic using an additive in the electrolyte has long been believed to be incompatible. Guiliang Xu, a ...

Inside the battery, lead plates are submerged in an electrolyte solution made of water and sulfuric acid. This chemical interaction produces electrons, creating the power required to turn over the ...

Researchers at the Illinois Institute of Technology and the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory have developed a lithium-air battery with a polymer-based solid electrolyte.

Researchers at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in South Korea have developed a triple-layer solid polymer electrolyte containing a lithium-ion battery that can ...

He's working on a potentially revolutionary change to one of the fundamental components of a battery, the electrolyte substance used to store electricity. A special type of laboratory-produced ...
