Dr. Park Jun-woo's team at KERI's Next Generation Battery Research Center has overcome a major obstacle to the commercialization of next-generation lithium–sulfur batteries and successfully developed ...

iodine acts as an intermediate in electron transfer to sulfur, dramatically accelerating electrode reactions. Researchers propose that iodine's mobility within the electrolyte may allow it to ...

Researchers at Fujian Normal University in China have developed a dual salt-based quasi-solid polymer electrolyte (DS-QSPE) that can make sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries a feasible solution for our ...

The iodine turned out to be a critical component. While the exchange of electrons with sulfur is relatively slow, iodine undergoes electron exchange (technically termed a redox reaction ...

Previous studies have posited that the mass extinction that wiped the dinosaurs off the face of the Earth was caused by the release of large volumes of sulfur from rocks within the Chicxulub ...

Approximately 66 million years ago, the Chicxulub asteroid, estimated to be 10–15 kilometers in diameter, struck the Yucatán Peninsula (in current-day Mexico), creating a 200-kilometer-wide ...

Composite image of a star-forming region (left) and Comet 67P (right). In the center is the ammonium hydrosulfide salt (NH4SH) that both appear to have in common, and which explains, among other ...
