A recent survey of magnesium sacrificial anode cathodic protection systems installed on Bahrain Petroleum Co. (BAPCO) pipelines in 1998 revealed that many of the anodes had failed prematurely and ...

Most of the batteries we use these days, whether rechargeable or not, are generally self-contained affairs. They come in a sealed package, with the anode, cathode, and electrolyte all wrapped up ...

Achieving high-performance anodes relies on the coupled effects of interfacial electric fields and controllable deposition morphology. Previous strategies, such as interface modification, structural ...

Magnesium-air batteries have emerged as a promising energy storage solution due to their high theoretical energy density and the abundance of magnesium. However, practical implementation has been ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers recently studied rechargeable batteries at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN). The CFN is a Department of Energy Office of Science user facility. The batteries ...

Compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries, a magnesium battery has many advantages: When using magnesium as an anode material, energy density is increased and safety is enhanced. "Magnesium is a ...

Nanoporous nanomaterials are nanostructured materials comprised of a framework and a regular, highly porous structure with pores that are 100 nm or smaller. These materials generally come in two forms ...
