A research team from The University of Tokyo has succeeded for the first time in directly observing the space charge layers ...

Oxygen-ion batteries, on the other hand ... “In many batteries, you have the problem that at some point the charge carriers can no longer move,” said Alexander Schmid of TU Wien’s Institute ...

where a catalyst creates oxygen ions. The arriving hydrogen protons and electrons bond with these oxygen ions, creating the two "waste products" of the reaction—water vapor and heat. Some of the ...

As there is oxygen present on the left hand side ... ions), while the right hand side is 6+ (from the two chromium ions). The charge can be balanced by adding electrons to the left hand side ...

it prevents oxygen from escaping. Another technique is to use graphene as the energy-storage medium itself. This has been used to construct supercapacitors – perhaps the strongest future competitor to ...

where seawater splits into oxygen and hydrogen in the presence of an electric charge. This charge may come from the ...
