  1. #Coconut water: the natural #health drink for #Thailand’s brutal heat
    "most celebrated quality is its #electrolyte content. Potassium, sodium, Mg & calcium work together to restore te body's fluid balance, making coconut water a popular choice aft exercise or during hot #weather.. Its nutrients also support skin health, promoting moisture & elasticity while helping to slow appearance of wrinkles. For women going thru menopause, te drink’s phytoestrogens may help"

  2. A #zinc#carbon battery (or carbon zinc battery in U.S. English) is the generic “heavy duty” #disposable battery. It has been overtaken in recent times by the longer-lasting #alkalineBattery. A zinc–carbon battery is a #dryCell that provides #directElectricCurrent from the #electrochemicalReaction between zinc (Zn) and #manganeseDioxide (MnO2) in the presence of an #ammoniumChloride (NH4Cl) #electrolyte. It produces a voltage of about 1.5 #volts between the zinc #anode.

  3. The #powersupply seems dead. I have other two, so I tried them. One was dead (as written, in italian, on the label), and one turned on the computer but no "bong" from the speaker. And the fan seemed a little more noisy than I remembered, so I checked the voltages and... holy cow 20v! I immediately disconnected it, hope not to have caused further damage. There was no #magicsmoke, only some fishy smell typical of the #capacitors #electrolyte. Not surprising, considered they have leaked.

  6. "...#dehydration and #alcohol #hangover seem to be caused by different mechanisms of action (dehydration is caused by #water and #electrolyte loss due to activation of the RAAS system and inhibiting aldosterone and vasopressin while alcohol hangover is elicited by oxidative stress and an inflammatory response). Further #research is required..."

  7. Solid state batteries theguardian.com/environment/20

    Removing the liquid #electrolyte makes batteries less susceptible to fires & Solid-state batteries can be fully charged more quickly… solid electrolytes are less dense, so a solid-state battery can be smaller and lighter & make electric cars smaller and lighter, give them a greater range for the same size and weight…even make electric aircraft a viable proposition.

  8. A new #electrolyte that raises the efficiency of the #zinc metal anode in zinc #batteries to nearly 100%, a breakthrough on the way to an alternative to #lithium-ion batteries for large-scale #energy storage.

  9. A promising #material for #hydrogen #energy devices. The new material has high #proton #conductivity and unusual properties (depending on the degree of doping). It can be used as an #electrolyte (at high doping levels) and as an #electrode (at low doping levels) in solid oxide #fuel #cells and electrolyzers.

  10. Have a look at the new preprint by our #BACCARAfellow Elina Nazmutdinova and coworkers on "Water-mediated synthesis of halide solid #electrolyte and conducting polymer hybrid materials for all solid-state #batteries". They developed a water-mediated one-pot synthesis of Li3InCl6 with PEDOT:PSS for use as catholyte component and tested it in combination with NMC particles. chemrxiv.org/engage/chemrxiv/a

  11. A is a can containing primarily (A) (synthetic or natural), and (B) (which is basically fertilizer). The next largest component is , primarily organic carbonates (a - on the lower toxicity end as far as solvents go). Next most common are the metal foils ( and ). Next is the () separator membrane.

    In tiny quantities at the bottom of the list? Electrolyte additives and the itself.

  12. @Timmy While there's lots of out there, the rate of scaling up battery-grade nickel production is believed to be slower than the capability to scale up production, hence the expected shift to LFP in the coming years.

    So we've now covered the and . The next greatest bulk comes from the casing () and the (mainly organic carbonates - a product). After this comes the and current collector foils, then the...

  13. An explanation for why flow #batteries using the metal #cerium in a sulfuric acid #electrolyte fall short on voltage, discovered through a study led by the University of Michigan, could pave the way for better battery chemistry.

  14. A new #electrolyte material for #hydrogen power. It is based on layered #perovskites modified with rare-earth #gadolinium, Indicator reports. Layered perovskites have good conductivity, and they can also be used to create systems that will convert the energy of #chemical reactions into #electricity.
