A new study by ETI scholar Chibueze Amanchukwu has developed a system that can simultaneously capture and convert CO₂, writes Mirage.

By Dae-geon Seok LG Energy Solution has developed a high-capacity battery using sulfur material. LG Energy Solution said on Wednesday it succeeded in implementing a high-capacity battery using sulfur as a cathode material by applying all-solid-state battery technology. The research...

The sulfur-based composite cathode delivered a discharge specific capacity of about 1500 milliampere-hours (mAh) per gram, close to its theoretical maximum.

New dry electrode design boosts conductivity and high-voltage stability in lithium-ion batteries.

Researchers tap into battery failure to destroy forever chemicals

Scientists may have found an unexpected way to break down “forever chemicals”—by borrowing chemistry from failing lithium-ion batteries.

A collaborative study between UChicago PME and Northwestern University, published in Nature Chemistry, details a novel approach to eliminating PFAS pollutants. The researchers successfully repurposed the specific chemical conditions that typically cause battery degradation to create an effective method for...

University of Chicago researchers turned battery failures into a method to degrade PFAS in water.
