Choosing an off-grid power solution is like predicting the future. It’s hard. You need to predict the amount of energy that the system will require if you add appliances, increase production, add infrastructure, or simply turn on a hair dryer.
Currently, off-grid power solutions require a level of custom
Drexel University researchers have developed two new electrode designs, using MXene material, that will allow batteries to charge much faster. The key is a microporous design that allows ions to quickly make their way to redox active sites.
Can you imagine fully charging your cell phone in just a few seconds? Researchers in Drexel University's College of Engineering can, and they took a big step toward making it a reality with their recent work unveiling of a new battery electrode design in the journal Nature Energy.
