Honeycomb electrode improves efficiency redox flow battery

The Netherlands/US – A relatively unknown type of battery – the redox-flow battery – is very promising for large-scale energy storage. To improve the electrochemical reactions in this battery, a team of researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), DIFFER and MIT developed a completely new electrode with ‘honeycomb’ pores. With this material, the battery […]

Microgenerator based on nanowires replaces battery

Sensors without a battery, powered by the temperature difference between the surface to which the sensor is attached and the surroundings: Daniel Vakulov designed a microgenerator based on nanowires that makes this a possibility. Minuscule smart sensors, reporting measurements wirelessly over the internet, are already being used to monitor industrial and logistics processes. In all […]
