High-Performance Hybrid Capacitors for Aqueous Electrochemical Energy Storage [Video]
Researchers from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) introduce an aqueous electrochemical energy storage system based on a polyaniline/rGO anode and NiO/rGO cathode. The system demonstrates ultrafast charging of a flexible wearable kit and light-emitting diode.
Understanding the Hydrolytic Stability of Covalent Organic Frameworks
Scientists from the USA and from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia use DFT calculations for investigating the hydrolysis of boronate ester-linked COFs.
Leaf The Lights On
Repeatedly bringing a leaf into contact with a plastic sheet makes a useful electic current, which can be used to power various electronic devices.
Is there a conflict between reducing global income inequality and combating climate change?
The energy-increasing effect of lowering inequality is indeed a distraction.
