With electric vehicles, the challenge for battery makers is straightforward: make batteries that can hold more energy, so the ...

Pity the poor lithium ion. Drawn relentlessly by its electrical charge, it surges from anode to cathode and back again, shouldering its way through an elaborate molecular obstacle course.

These ions attract electrons. In a fully charged battery, they glom onto some number of anode molecules (which are usually carbon) along with an electron. As energy is drawn from the batteries ...

The daily recharge of smartphones may become a thing of the past if battery researchers can get lithium ions to behave in a different way. Northwestern University and Argonne National Laboratory ...

an apparatus has been constructed for direct mass-spectrometric analysis of ions drawn from, a flame. Whereas previously information about the nature and relative amounts of positive ions could ...

The negative ions drawn off may have energies in excess of that imparted to them in the accelerating electric fields. Some of this work was not in agreement with other results which one of us had ...

These models usually use coloured balls to represent the ions. Some use sticks to show the ionic bonds. A 3D construction model still has limitations: A 3D model may be drawn as a 3D diagram.
