Tin makes solid state sodium-ion battery super conductive
Scientists at Pennsylvania State and Pacific Northwest universities in the US have developed a super conductive material for solid state sodium ion batteries using tin. The new material is based on the sodium-phosphorus-sulphur family of solid electrolytes, similar to...Scientists use tin wire in lithium-ion fibres for wearable electronics
Scientists at École Polytechnique de Montréal, Canada have developed and tested several experimental lithium ion battery fibres for wearable electronics, including some using tin wire. The prototype fibres were made by twisting together a steel-polyester-cathode...Zeon Corporation patent tin-carbon anode for lithium-ion batteries
Japanese chemicals producer Zeon Corporation has worked with Shinshu University, Japan to develop and patent a novel tin-carbon anode for lithium-ion batteries with dramatically increased energy density. The technology is part of a second generation of lithium-ion...Advances in development of liquid tin for concentrated solar power plants
A team at Georgia Institute of Technology, US has published advances in its development of liquid tin for use as a heat transfer agent in concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. CSP uses large scale arrays of reflectors of different kinds to concentrate heat from...Stellar adds new tin tenement to portfolio
Australian tin explorer and developer, Stellar Resources (SRZ) has added to its portfolio of Tasmanian tin properties with the recent grant of the Mount Razorback exploration license, which contains the historical Razorback and Grand Prize tin mines and a tailings...Kasbah ditches SSO strategy
Australia-based tin explorer and developer, Kasbah Resources, plans to adapt the development strategy for its Achmmach Tin Project in Morocco following a technical review of the 2016 Small Start Option (SSO) Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) previously envisaged for...Scientists discover copper works best with tin in carbon capture catalysts
Scientists at Monash University, US have discovered that coating tin crystals on copper is the best way to make the reaction most efficient in the formate reaction. The team tried coating the tin dendrite crystals onto different metals – platinum, copper, indium...Tin crystals make fuel cells cheaper
Scientists at Ariel University, Israel have shown that layers of tin crystals can be used to make fuel cells cheaper by using less platinum or palladium catalyst per unit mass. In a recent patent application Ariel Scientific Innovations, the technology transfer office...Researchers report ‘remarkable’ tin phosphate material for fuel cells
Researchers from Changzhou University, China and Pennsylvania State University, US have reported a ‘remarkable’ novel tin phosphate gel material that performs well in fuel cells, and can also be a fast-charging lithium ion battery anode. Tin phosphate is a...
