Battery experts can generate a charge out of about anything these days. Form Energy is adding rust to the list. Experts developed iron-air batteries that can use the chemistry that occurs when metal ...

Canadian rock legend Neil Young once wrote that rust never sleeps. Young used rust as a metaphor for artistic complacency, an ...

An iron-air battery that stores and releases energy through a reversible rusting process has become the first of its kind to connect with a public electricity grid. On 30 July, the startup Ore Energy ...

Discover the revolutionary potential of rust batteries in energy storage technology. This video examines iron-air battery technology, which could extend energy storage duration from hours to up to 100 ...

An artist’s rendering of a 56-megawatt iron-air battery system, developed by Boston-based Form Energy. Great River Energy plans to install a much smaller, 1.5-megawatt iron-air battery pilot project ...

For some time now, a nanomaterial known as MXene has been touted as a faster-charging alternative to the lithium used in batteries. It could soon be an even more viable choice, as scientists have ...

Rather than disposing of batteries after two or three years, we could have recyclable batteries that last for up to nine years, by using high-frequency sound waves to remove rust that inhibits battery ...

Chloride ions, abundant in seawater, could replace lithium in future rechargeable batteries, reducing dependence on limited lithium reserves. Leveraging chloride ions enhances the redox chemistry of ...

For an electric grid that plugs into lots of wind turbines and solar panels, coping when the wind dies and the sun sets requires long-lasting batteries. With the heavy demand for lithium-based ...

Mobile phone batteries with a lifetime up to three times longer than today's technology could be a reality thanks to a recent innovation. Mobile phone batteries with a lifetime up to three times ...
