In research that could jumpstart work on technologies including fuel cells, key to storing solar and wind energy, MIT researchers have found a relatively simple way to increase the lifetimes of these devices: changing the “pH” of the system.
Harry Tuller, a 47-year veteran of MIT, was honored by the Materials Research Society for his work involving the movement of electric charges through solids, which could lead to better-performing fuel cells and batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries, fuel cells and many other devices depend on the high mobility of ions in order to work properly. But there a large number of obstacles to such mobility. A research team led .
