For the first time, researchers have created a nanocomposite of ceramics and a two-dimensional material, opening the door for new designs of nanocomposites with such applications as solid-state ...

Cold sintering presents a transformative approach to ceramic and composite fabrication, utilising markedly lower temperatures than conventional sintering methods. By employing either a transient ...

Ordinarily, when ceramic items are manufactured, the raw material has to be fired in a kiln at temperatures exceeding 1,000 ºC (1,832 ºF). Needless to say, it's a very energy-intensive process. Now, ...

Lithium-ion batteries have been a staple in device manufacturing for years, but the liquid electrolytes they rely on to function are quite unstable, leading to fire hazards and safety concerns. Now, ...

Yi-Chen Lan, doctoral student in chemical engineering at Penn State and first author of a paper published in ChemSusChem, holds a battery coin cell that contains composite electrolytes reprocessed ...

For years, lithium-ion batteries have powered everything from smartphones to electric vehicles. But their reliance on liquid electrolytes has raised significant safety concerns due to their ...
