We take a look at the chemistry behind electrolytes and sports drink science. Sports drink commercials love talking about them, but what are electrolytes, why do we need them, and what happens if we ...

Chinese scientists have developed a new battery system that could enable lithium cells to operate safely for thousands of ...

When you exercise your body not only needs water, but also electrolytes. Electrolytes are compounds that separate into ions when put into water. This separation of ions also allows for a conduction of ...

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) hold the potential to power the next era of energy storage with unmatched energy density, but ...

Electrochemical processes in devices like solar cells, fuel cells, lithium batteries, and water desalination systems rely on the safe, efficient, and robust transport of anions and cations between ...

With simple molecular tweaking, researchers have converted a common chemical waste product, triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), into an electrolyte material suitable for use in batteries connected to the ...

I'm reading Forest Mims's Getting Started in Electronics and towards the beginning of the book he talks about chemical generators and explains that electrolytes are chemical solutions that contain ...

After multiple lithium battery failures or incidents reported, Chinese scientists have developed a new battery system that ...
