Stanford’s extra salty electrolyte makes for flameproof batteries

Researchers are working to improve battery technology in all kinds of ways, and among the most important is addressing the issue of flammability. Scientists have cooked up a new electrolyte recipe that tackles this in a highly promising way, leaning on… Continue reading Stanford’s extra salty electrolyte makes for flameproof batteries

MIT advance paves way for high-density batteries that handle stress

The field of battery research is riddled with roadblocks and bottlenecks, but there is one problem that rears its head more than most. Branch-like growths called dendrites continue to plague next-gen battery designs of many types, but new MIT-led resea… Continue reading MIT advance paves way for high-density batteries that handle stress

Low-Voltage DC Network Build Incited By Solar Panels

Breakers for the system on a DIN rail, with markings like 48V and 24V and 12V and so on on the bottom, and two hefty devices of some kind on the bottom, probably MPTT controllers, with hefty wires running from them.

Nowadays, some people in Europe worry about energy prices climbing, and even if all the related problems disappear overnight, we’ll no doubt be seeing some amounts of price increase. As …read more Continue reading Low-Voltage DC Network Build Incited By Solar Panels
