Fuel cells that react liquid sodium metal with air could be the power source required to give electric airplanes much longer ranges, a new paper has proposed. The idea has yet to leave the ...

Sodium picosulfate 10mg, magnesium oxide 3.5g, anhydrous citric acid 12g; per packet; powder for oral solution after reconstitution; orange-flavor.

One of the tubes contained liquid sodium metal while the other contained air, providing oxygen for the fuel cell reaction. The reaction of the two components produces sodium oxide and energy.

MIT's sodium-air fuel cells may power electric planes, offering triple the energy of lithium-ion batteries and reducing carbon emissions.

Metals can be used as fuels, just like oil, gas, or hydrogen, because they release energy through burning or electrochemical reactions. Light metals like ...

Skoltech researchers and their collaborators from France, the US, Switzerland, and Australia were able to create and describe a mixed oxide Na(Li1/3Mn2/3)O2 that holds promise as a cathode ...

In sodium batteries, layered-oxide cathodes can be made with just manganese and iron (though they may be spiced with metals such as copper and titanium to improve performance).

• Al2O3: The percent by weight of aluminum oxide in the ash. • Fe2O3: The percent by weight of ferric oxide in the ash. • CaO: The percent by weight of calcium oxide in the ash. • MgO: The percent by ...

Nitrous oxide is both a greenhouse gas and contributes to the destruction of stratospheric ozone. Industry produces around 1.3 megatons of nitrous oxide per year, which accounts for a fifth of the ...

The sodium oxide these fuel cells release would instead combine with carbon dioxide at altitude to form sodium bicarbonate, actually removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
