Chemistry researchers are hoping to spark a green battery revolution by showing that iron instead of cobalt and nickel can be used as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries.
A new collaborative study co-led by an Oregon State University researchers shows that iron could be the key in creating cheaper and greener lithium ion batteries, OSU officials said.
<p>Berkeley Lab scientists have achieved record-high energy and power densities in microcapacitors made with engineered thin films, using materials and fabrication techniques already widespread in chip manufacturing. Their work paves the way for advanced on-chip energy storage and power delivery in next-generation electronics. </p>
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have conducted research that shows how minute variations in the isotopic content of thin semiconductor materials can affect their optical and electronic characteristics, potentially leading to the development of novel and cutting-edge semiconductor designs.
Research led by scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has demonstrated that small changes in the isotopic content of thin semiconductor materials can influence their optical and electronic properties, possibly opening the way to new and advanced designs with the semiconductors.
