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 ...

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 ...

As renewable energy sources become more efficient and affordable to adopt, ensuring that any excess energy generated is properly stored for future use is crucial to preventing energy wastage. This is ...

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 ...

Researchers at Vienna University of Technology have developed an oxygen-ion battery based on ceramic materials that has a longer lifespan than lithium-ion batteries. The new battery can be regenerated ...

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 ...

A research team from the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford have measured the slow process of energy loss in lithium-ion batteries resulting from escaping oxygen ...
