Energy storage is an essential element of the clean energy transition, from the electrification of cars to helping smooth out the intermittency of variable renewables such as wind and solar.

The electric battery has increased the penetration of motorisation and wirelessness in our lives. Electric batteries hold and release electrical energy that they have acquired by converting other ...

The growing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles and energy storage systems poses risks to raw material supply. Recycling end-of-life LIBs is critical to supporting the future ...

Placing certain metal parts in contact with other metal parts can rapidly accelerate rust and corrosion. Ultimately, any metal or metallic compound is subject to corrosion at a greater or lesser rate, ...

A major cause of failures in metal fasteners is electrochemical corrosion (rust), or so-called galvanic action. Engineers and designers alike can greatly reduce this type of corrosion by specifying ...
