Layered transition-metal oxides are among the most promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries because of their high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, conventional designs rely on ...

Transition metal chemistry is a vast and dynamic field that centres on the distinctive properties of elements in groups 3–12. These metals, characterised by partially filled d orbitals, exhibit a ...

KoBold Metals, a mining startup backed by billionaires including Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, is bullish on the discovery potential of some of the most sought-after energy transition metals. The ...

To build all of the solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicle batteries, and other technologies necessary to fight climate change, we’re going to need a lot more metals. Mining those metals from ...

Direct oxidation of methane to methanol is dominated by transition- or noble-metal-based catalysts, thus making the reaction quite expensive. To make the process efficient and cost-effective, ...

Copper and aluminum are closely tied to economic growth expectations. Used heavily in construction, they follow building trends in economies that, in good times, build a lot of new homes or ...
