Jang Wook Choi: Pride in battery research
Celebrating “10 years of Advanced Energy Materials Research,” we chatted with Jang Wook Choi of SNU about his career and the future of battery research.
Schottky emerging from the shadows
A shadow-effect energy generator produces electricity from illumination contrast that arises when the device is partly placed in shadow.
Ammonia “mushballs” drive Jupiter’s exotic lightening
Ammonia sparks unexpected shallow lightening on Jupiter.
Decline in carbon-intensive arrangements can help mitigate climate change
Deliberate decline in carbon-intensive practices is currently taking shape as a new way to confront climate change.
No longer just solar sharing: Bringing agrivoltaics to the next level
Semi-transparent solar cells allow plants and solar energy to be efficiently generated on the same crop land.
What comes after the lithium-ion battery?
What are alternative technologies to lithium-ion batteries and what does the future hold for energy storage?
A new tool for visualizing all atoms in a cathode lattice
Mapping the locations of all the atoms in a cathode material allows for a better understanding of degradation mechanisms and the development of better batteries.
Interface engineering in rechargeable batteries — A trade-off between functionality and detrimental effects
Rechargeable batteries are composite systems with a high density of interfaces. Learning which interfacial phenomena occur under operation could help prevent detrimental effects.
