ALBANY, N.Y. — Electrolytes have become a major trend in the nutrition world, with products available in stores, on social media, and advertised on podcasts. Marketed as solutions for energy, ...

The thermodynamic properties of electrolyte solutions play a pivotal role in understanding the behaviour of ionic species in diverse environments, ranging from natural waters to industrial processes.

I used to think electrolyte drinks were just for marathon runners, but now they’re everywhere, from gym bags to grocery carts. Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium are essential for ...

When it comes to alternative battery architectures, designs that replace the conventional graphite material in one of the electrodes with high-density lithium metal are seen as hugely promising. An ...

The green polyoxometalate-based lithium salt (LPM) is sandwiched between two layers of an ionic liquid (orange) that promotes the dissociation of lithium ions from LPM, increasing ion conductivity of ...

Next-generation batteries could take on many forms, but one design that scientists are pinning a lot of hope on involves the use of lithium metal. The excellent energy density of this material could ...

Aqueous potassium-ion batteries are a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries owing to their safety and low cost. However, not much is known about the properties of the solid-electrolyte ...

Lithium-sulfur batteries can pack up to five times as much energy by weight as some lithium-ion batteries, in principle. In practice, experimental versions of the batteries have fallen short of ...
