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

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have discovered important new clues in the mystery of how an ...

Cu–Mn mixed metal oxide (MMO) catalysts doped with NaCl were synthesized using combustion synthesis technique with a variety of fuels for the direct gas-phase epoxidation of propylene with molecular ...

The structural stability and dielectric constant of poly sodium 4-styrensulfonate (PSS) intercalated graphite oxides (GOs) were investigated. We found that the interlayer distance of a PSS-treated ...

To examine the effect of crystal size and orientation effect on ZT, polycrystalline Na x Co 2 O 4 materials were prepared by pressing layered crystals obtained in sol–gel (SG) synthesis, molten salt ...

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

Liquid sodium metal fills the tube on one side, and air flows through the other, providing the oxygen for the electrochemical reaction at the center, which ends up gradually consuming the sodium fuel.
