Chemistry + Longevity: Redox, Iron Oxide & Reverse Rusting

Sometimes a mere change in verbiage can expand perspective. Case in point: Referring to a gain in electron flow as “reduction.” When it comes to nature though, gains and losses are actually exchange because energy cannot be destroyed. (1) The oxidation-reduction reaction is a complimentary process of electron transfer referred to as “redox” in whichContinue reading “Chemistry + Longevity: Redox, Iron Oxide & Reverse Rusting”

RE-POST: Achieving higher performance with potassium ion battery by Tsinghua University Press

https://phys.org/news/2022-04-higher-potassium-ion-battery.amp Remember the banana art ? Hearing a lot about lithium still, but what about the potassium ion battery?— research by Tsinghua University, among others like Korea University “…life on the planet is somehow based on biological potassium-ion batteries. K+ is the key charge carrier in plants. Circulation of K+ ions facilitates the energy storageContinue reading “RE-POST: Achieving higher performance with potassium ion battery by Tsinghua University Press”
