Smartphones, laptops, electric cars -- whatever the device, an efficient battery is high on any user's wish list. The search for the next-generation battery has recently focused on sodium- oxygen ...

(Nanowerk News) Chemists at the University of Waterloo have discovered the key reaction that takes place in sodium-air batteries that could pave the way for development of the so-called holy grail of ...

IN the isolated frog skin, it was found by Zerahn 1 and by Leaf and Renshaw 2 that the amount of sodium actively transported had a fixed relationship to the net oxygen consumption (sodium/net oxygen ...

Implantable electronic devices have been a lifechanging development for so many people with cardiac issues; pacemakers can treat slowed heart rhythms while implantable cardioverter defibrillators ...

Medical implants such as pacemakers and gastric stimulators have improved our lives, but the batteries in these devices eventually run out and require surgery to replace them. It raises a futuristic ...

Extract: This report presents the difference (Δ [H +)], and ratio (Δ p H), of the hydrogen ion activity between the inside and outside of the red cell for THAM-buffered and NaHCO 3-buffered ACD blood ...

Sodium-ion batteries are considered ideal candidates for large-scale energy storage systems due to the abundance of sodium resources, low costs, and high safety. Layered transition metal oxides serve ...

The chelation of PN with Ni in NCM811, which effectively reduces the charge compensation from TM 2d to O 3p at elevated temperatures and in deep delithiated state, thereby inhibiting the oxidation of ...

Sodium-oxygen batteries are considered by many to be a particularly promising metal-oxygen battery combination. Although less energy dense than lithium-oxygen cells, they can be recharged with more ...
