Researchers at AIST have created a method to introduce alkali metals into the graphene interlayers, working with researchers from Osaka University, Tokyo Polytechnic University, Kyushu University, and ...

New research suggests that doping lithium metal batteries with potassium could improve performance, lifetime, and safety in the next generation of rechargeable batteries. With increasing concerns ...

An alkali is derived from the Arabic word 'qali' means ' from the ashes'. As ashes are mixed with water used for cleaning products and are made of alkali materials. It is a basic hydroxide or ionic ...

When alkali metals like sodium dissolve in liquid ammonia, they produce a colorful spectacle that has puzzled and delighted chemists for centuries. The metals release electrons that give the solution ...

Using NMR and computer simulations enables an understanding of how these unique electrolyte formulations improve lithium metal battery performance at the molecular level. These are tools to enable ...

In a mind-bending experiment, scientists transformed purified water into metal for a few fleeting seconds, thus allowing the liquid to conduct electricity. Unfiltered water can already conduct ...
