What will it take for green energy to overtake fossil fuels as our main source of power?
Japanese researchers from three prestigious academic institutions took a hard look at the kind of technology needed by the hydrogen-based green energy industry to successfully compete with the fossil fuel energy industry. They estimated that Japan needs a new generation of cheap rechargeable batteries to produce clean, renewable fuel at cost-effective rates. Aside from the technology levels, the joint study also considered the economic […]

Can magnesium batteries revolutionize battery technology?
Researchers from all across Europe are pooling their efforts into the development of new types of magnesium batteries. They hope that the budding energy storage system can offer an alternative to lithium-ion batteries that is cheaper, more effective, and safer in terms of manufacture and usage. In the E-MAGIC research project, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is working […]

Japanese researchers develop a micro-electromechanical energy harvester that runs on ambient energy
Even as internet of things devices grow ever smaller, they continue to require more power. But most of these smart devices are too small to fit batteries and power cords might restrict them. This led Japanese researchers to refine an existing tool which could collect electromechanical energy from its surroundings. Their new energy harvester is called a micro-electronic mechanical system (MEMS). […]

Study: Is a “proton highway” the key to developing high-power batteries?
More than 200 years ago, a Lithuanian researcher came up with a theory regarding the transportation of electric charges through an electrolyte. Today, his concept of a “proton highway” could enable energy storage systems for electrical grids, electric vehicles, and other high-power uses. In a study supported by the Oregon State University and other academic […]

The future of batteries: Researchers are one step closer to developing a battery made entirely from organic radical polymers
Texan researchers recently overcame a tall hurdle in their long-standing quest to create an efficient battery made entirely from natural and sustainable materials. They identified an organic radical polymer that could potentially charge and discharge electricity at a much faster rate than the non-organic materials in older types of batteries. There are many obstacles in the road to […]

Powering battery-free devices: Researchers develop flexible “rectennas” that convert Wi-Fi signals into electricity
For years, researchers have been developing “rectenna” that could turn Wi-Fi emissions into electrical energy so that electronic devices would be freed from the constraints of batteries and power cords. But the rectenna presented by an MIT-led team was the first example that could be flexed in any direction. Rectenna can turn any alternating current electromagnetic waves – including […]

Rocks could be the next best thing in energy storage
Beneath the waters off the coasts of certain countries lie layers of rocks that can allow the passage of air and water through them. Scottish researchers suggested that the porous rock formations off the North Sea coastline of the U.K. could serve as storage areas for renewable energy over long periods of time. Based on the […]

Carbon emissions can now be upcycled into usable energy
South Korean researchers came up with a new clean energy generation system that could capture, use, and store carbon-based air pollutants. In addition to producing both electricity and hydrogen fuel, it also prevented the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Their hybrid sodium-carbon dioxide (Na-CO2) system used an aqueous solution to swiftly dissolve CO2 in […]

Antimony-carbon anode could pave the way for developing next-gen batteries
A newly developed antimony-carbon composite could solve the problems that beset potassium-ion battery (PIB) technology. An anode made from this material increased the amount of energy that could be stored inside the PIB unit. At the same time, it would degrade at a slower rate with every use, allowing it to last much longer. Potassium is […]

Study: Different forms of titanium oxide significantly boost perovskite solar cell performance
Researchers are constantly looking for ways to improve the performance of perovskite solar cells while also reducing their price tags. A Japanese team focused on two different forms of titanium oxide, which promised to increase the amount of sunlight that gets turned into energy while also being cheaper and eco-friendly than earlier photovoltaic cells. Perovskite-based […]
