A surprising breakthrough could help sodium-ion batteries rival lithium—and even turn seawater into drinking water. Scientists discovered that keeping water inside a key battery material, instead of ...

University of Surrey researchers discovered a compound known as nanostructured sodium vanadate hydrate (NVOH) – a layered sodium-based material that naturally contains water within its crystalline ...

US startups are developing pressurized water storage systems using hydraulic fracturing technology to store renewable energy from solar and wind. This technology offers a potential alternative to ...

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...
