Ion transport in solid-state materials is a fundamentally important process that moves charges simultaneously with mass transfer, enabling numerous applications from lithium batteries 1, solid-oxide ...

Figure 1: Schematic illustration of the oxygen-ion incorporation pathway. Figure 2: Evolution of oxygen species in the electrochemical double-layer with overpotential. To quantify the dynamics of ...

An oxygen-ion-battery has been invented, based on ceramic materials. If it degrades, it can be regenerated, therefore it potentially has an extremely long lifespan. Also, it does not require any rare ...

Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous today - from electric cars to smartphones. But that does not mean that they are the best solution for all areas of application. TU Wien has now succeeded in ...

Li-ion batteries power almost everything these days, but their star is waning as more promising chemistries are developed. Scientists at the Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien) in Austria have ...

Austrian scientists have created a lab-scale, solid-state, oxygen ion battery based on mixed ionic electronic conducting (MIEC), which is a special class of non-flammable electroceramic materials. The ...

Lithium is currently the most widely-used element for making batteries, which also explains why research is focused on this soft alkaline metal and its derivatives to make better batteries. Earlier ...

(Nanowerk News) Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous today - from electric cars to smartphones. But that does not mean that they are the best solution for all areas of application. TU Wien has now ...

Researchers from Austria have invented a new kind of battery called an oxygen-ion battery. The battery is greener, longer lasting, and less flammable than the current near-ubiquitous lithium-ion ...

A new type of battery has been invented at TU Wien (Vienna): The oxygen-ion battery can be extremely durable, does not require rare elements and solves the problem of fire hazards. Lithium-ion ...
