An explanation for why flow batteries using the metal cerium in a sulfuric acid electrolyte fall short on voltage could pave the way for better battery chemistry. An explanation for why flow batteries ...

The willingness of the 4f orbitals of lanthanide metals to participate in chemical reactions is as rare as their presence in Earth's crust. A recent study, however, witnessed the 4f orbital in a ...

Titanium dioxide and other metal oxides are widely used as bright white pigments and sunscreen agents, but they can cause damaging oxidation reactions that can degrade the materials the coatings were ...

Scientists at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands have fabricated a front-back contact silicon heterojunction (FBC-SHJ) solar cell with a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) ...
