The massive surge in the consumption of fossil fuels and the resulting environmental degradation necessitates the progression of renewable energy sources and energy storage/conversion technologies. The utilization of polymers characterized as being highly energy efficient and cost-effective is among the highly intriguing areas of research.
April 25, 2023 — Valentino “Tino” Cooper, a scientist at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory, has been appointed to DOE’s Basic [...]
Sodium-ion batteries are seeing a surge in interest as a potential complementary energy storage technology in light of skyrocketing demand for lithium-ion batteries. One of the frontiers of improving sodium-ion battery competitiveness is replacing liquid electrolytes with polymer electrolytes, which contain no free-flowing solvent, to increase safety and reduce cost. Their development may one day make viable sodium-metal batteries, which would have considerable advantages in energy density. This review provides an overview of the current field of both solid-polymer and gel-polymer electrolytes...
