Rechargeable batteries that use ammonium cations as charge carriers could provide ecofriendly and sustainable substitutes to metal-ion-based batteries, researchers at KAUST show. Metal-ion batteries, ...

The most preferred form of energy storage is metal-ion batteries, like lithium-ion batteries. Because of their great energy density and adaptability, they dominate the markets for portable consumer ...

Ferrocene is a key molecule for developing molecular machines. However, it readily decomposes on the surface of flat noble metal substrates, marking a significant challenge. Now researchers have ...

Researchers at KAUST in Saudi Arabia are exploring how ammonium-ion electrolytes could help create eco-friendly metal-free batteries for grid storage. Rechargeable batteries that use ammonium cations ...

Ammonium nitrate is a commonly used fertilizer, but when mixed with a fuel such as diesel, it makes a powerful explosive – as seen in last week’s fertilizer plant explosion in Texas. But it's the ...
