Outside the clothesline, on the grid: MXene nanomaterials enable wireless charging of textiles
Researchers at Drexel University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Accenture Research Institute have developed a process to print wirelessly rechargeable textile energy grids using MXene ink. Credit: Today’s Materials (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.mattod.2024.10.008 The next step for fully integrated textile-based electronics to get from the lab to the wardrobe is finding a way to power clothing gizmos without having to lug…

Researchers have solved a key problem with sodium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and grid energy storage
Artistic rendering of the important discovery that lowering the heating rate during the fabrication of cathodes in sodium-ion batteries eliminates the problem of distortion and cracking in core-shell particles with concentration gradients. Credit: Argonne National Laboratory. Lithium-ion batteries have long dominated the market as the go-to power source for electric vehicles. Consideration is also underway to store renewable energy for…
