Zinc–air batteries offer high theoretical energy density, intrinsic safety, and abundant raw materials, making them attractive for large-scale energy storage and flexible electronics. However, their ...

Researchers in China have developed new zinc–air batteries that maintain stable charge–discharge operation for ...

Electron transport in gallium nitride (GaN) and zinc oxide (ZnO) remains a field of intense study due to the promise these wide energy gap semiconductors hold for high-power, high-frequency and ...

Researchers improve zinc-air battery tech with better stability and performance, offering a safer, cheaper alternative to traditional means.

A version of this story appeared in Volume 98, Issue 23 “Our work may open a completely new paradigm of devising efficient electrocatalysts for various metal-air batteries,” says study coauthor Guoxiu ...

Engineers at UC San Diego have synthesized a long-sought semiconducting material that may pave the way for an inexpensive new kind of light emitting diode (LED) that could compete with today's widely ...

Metal-ion hybrid capacitors combine the properties of capacitors and batteries. One electrode uses the capacitive mechanism, the other the battery-type redox processes. Scientists have now scrutinized ...
