A team of chemists at Stanford have created a nickel-iron battery prototype that can charge and discharge in seconds using carbon nanostructures. Usually, a nickel-iron battery is simply two ...

A rechargeable battery patented by Thomas Edison more than a century ago is staging a comeback. The nickel-iron battery may yet prove to be a viable power source for electric cars, as the inventor had ...

(Nanowerk News) Stanford University scientists have breathed new life into the nickel-iron battery, a rechargeable technology developed by Thomas Edison more than a century ago. Designed in the early ...

The Stanford team has created an ultrafast nickel-iron battery that can be fully charged in about 2 minutes and discharged in less than 30 seconds. The team managed to increase the charging and ...

In 1901, Thomas Edison developed the recharcheable nickel-iron battery, a technology he hoped to see implemented in electric cars. But a slow rate of energy output and slower charging time saw it ...

A green, rechargeable battery that is suitable for powering electric vehicles and stationary power storage applications, and that would survive tens of thousands of charge cycles in a useful life of ...

At the turn of the 20th Century, Thomas Edison invented a battery with the unusual quirk of producing hydrogen. Now, 120 years later, the battery is coming into its own. Traveling down a gravelly road ...

Like gasoline, there is no such thing as a “pure” lithium ion battery. Gasoline is a blend of various hydrocarbons and other components like ethanol that can vary widely based on location, time of ...

Producers of nickel pig iron (NPI) in Indonesia are looking at converting their material into an intermediate product that can be turned into nickel chemicals for the lucrative electric vehicle market ...
