What are the characteristics of solar system? Key Concepts: The solar system consists of the Sun, planets, dwarf planets, moon, comets, asteroids, meteorites, dust, atomic particles, electromagnetic radiation, and magnetic fields. … The Sun is a star that produces light and heat energy for the solar system through thermonuclear reactions inside it. How did the […]

Lithium-sulfur batteries have for some time promised to be the successor to lithium-ion batteries, as they offer a fantastic capacity-the amount of electric charge a battery can deliver at a given voltage-at least in principle. But so far in practice, they have not at all lived up to their promise. Two opposing approaches, both […]

Scientists from the Institute for Open and Transdisciplinary Research Initiatives at Osaka University discovered a new feature of solar cells made from antimony sulfiodide:sulfide composite they termed the wavelength-dependent photovoltaic effect (WDPE). The team determined that changing the color of incident light from visible to ultraviolet induced a reversible change in the […]

The exponentially increasing implementation of renewable energy systems, such as wind and solar energy, are urgently demanding the development of large-scale energy storage devices with flexibility, high energy conversion efficiency, and simple maintenance. Among diverse candidates, due to the natural abundance and low cost of sodium reserves, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have recently captured widespread […]

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed lithium-ion batteries that perform well at freezing cold and scorching hot temperatures, while packing a lot of energy. The researchers accomplished this feat by developing an electrolyte that is not only versatile and robust throughout a wide temperature range, but also compatible with a […]
