In a new paper published today in Joule, researchers from McGill University and the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM) announced the development of a novel method that enables researchers to peer inside Li-ion batteries and, for the first time, track the physical processes that take place in both the liquid and solid parts of the battery cells as they happen.
Electrification of everything will dramatically increase demand for energy storage and conversion, from advanced batteries to green hydrogen and carbon-free fuels, highlighting need for accelerated innovation efforts
The climate crisis continues to attract global attention, and rightfully so, as dramatic incidents worldwide repeatedly underscore the growing severity of the situation. Governments are increasingly responsive to the issue, enacting legislations to eventually reduce the rate of global temperature rise.
On May 3, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) announced the recent recipients of the NSERC Strategic Partnership Grants program.
