Cathodes play a dominant role in defining cell energy density, and also make up a significant proportion of cell costs, due to the use of high-cost metals such as cobalt, nickel and lithium. Standard ...

Vertical GaN power devices could benefit from better p-type contacts, realised by magnesium implantation and ultra-high-pressure annealing Engineers from North Carolina State University, Adroit ...

Researchers at Nagoya University fabricated functional gallium oxide pn diodes that can carry twice as much electrical current as previous gallium oxide diodes and waste less energy than silicon-based ...

Gallium oxide (Ga₂O₃) is a semiconductor material that could make electronic devices much more energy-efficient than current silicon-based technology. Electronic diodes require two types of ...

The use of an anti-parallel Schottky barrier diode (SBD) can improve the performance and reliability of silicon carbide MOSFETs in power conversion applications. In this article, we will showcase ...

During the oil crisis of the 1970s, a chemist at Exxon named M. Stanley Whittingham, working on a new type of rechargeable battery, discovered that lithium ions could slip inside the gaps in a layered ...

Tesla 4680s have had slower ramping because of problems with the Cathode needing a wet process and cathodes made by other companies. Auto experts Munro Associates have taken apart a cybertruck and ...

(Nanowerk News) Researcher at iGaN Lab, University of Science and Technology of China, have developed a multifunctional three-terminal diode that functions both as a light emitter and a detector. This ...

Precisely identifying the amount of graphitization in carbon-based battery anodes is a vital step in the optimization of electrochemical capabilities as well as their ability to store energy. X-Ray ...

This article will explore the key elements of power diode technology, drawing from a Nexperia webinar series. Commencing with an examination of the rectifier principles, we will scrutinize the primary ...
