Conventional lithium-ion batteries contain problematic substances such as nickel and cobalt, and the solvents used to coat ...

The crystalline phases (for example, α-Fe 2 O 3, γ-Fe 2 O 3, and Fe 3 O 4) and oxidation state (for example, Fe 2+ and Fe 3+) of iron oxides can be suitably controlled to achieve desirable properties ...

Northwestern University researchers are actively overturning the conventional view of iron oxides as mere phosphorus "sinks." A critical nutrient for life, most phosphorus in the soil is organic—from ...

Rust – iron oxide – is a poor conductor of electricity, which is why an electronic device with a rusted battery usually won't work. Despite this poor conductivity, an electron transferred to a ...
