Chen's team found their breakthrough with their choice of conductive media—alloys of hydride, which are lab-made metallic substances that include hydrogen molecules with two electrons.

Battery waste is a major environmental threat, with the US alone discarding around 3 billion batteries each year, generating ...

“Among adsorbent-based hydrogen storage materials, catalyzed graphene-based materials and manganese hydride-based Kubas-type materials seem to be promising. These materials are able to absorb ...
