UNSW engineers have made a major step forward in the development of a new type of solar cell that could help make future solar panels cheaper, more efficient and more durable.This post was originally published […]

Researchers have developed a breakthrough method to recover high-purity nickel, cobalt, manganese and lithium from spent lithium-ion batteries using a mild, sustainable solvent.This post was originally published on this site.

A new set of simple equations can fast-track the search for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), a Nobel-Prize-winning class of nanoporous materials that are promising candidates for clean hydrogen energy storage. With millions of possible MOFs to […]

A new type of circuit board which is almost entirely biodegradable could help reduce the environmental harms of electronic waste, its inventors say.This post was originally published on this site.

Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have created a molecule that naturally forms p/n junctions, structures that are vital for converting sunlight into electricity. Their findings offer a promising shortcut to producing more efficient organic thin-film solar […]

Hydrogen, a clean energy source, requires a highly reliable and safe storage system, which is currently lacking. Layered hydrogen silicane (L-HSi) is a promising, safe, lightweight, and energy-efficient solid-state hydrogen carrier with potential for practical […]

Demand is booming for batteries that are faster, thinner and cheaper. We want electric cars and bikes that travel further, devices that last longer, charge quicker and cost less. Today, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) set the […]

The global push for clean energy often highlights high-tech solutions in wealthy countries. But a team at the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) is proving that simple, clever ideas—inspired by chess, secondhand batteries, and fair […]

Silicon is an attractive negative electrode (anode) material for future lithium-ion batteries because it can store much more energy than the graphite used today. However, silicon expands and shrinks dramatically during charging and discharging. This […]

President Donald Trump’s campaign against offshore wind power in the U.S. sustained major setbacks last week when three different judges blocked enforcement of a government ban and allowed projects in New York, Rhode Island and […]
