Researchers at the Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech) in Japan have demonstrated that a specific material can act as an efficient battery component for sodium-ion batteries that will compete with lithium-ion batteries for several battery characteristics, especially speed of charge. The findings were published in Scientific Reports in November of 2018 and was headed by Naoto Tanibata,…
New Coating Surface for Superior Rust Resistance with ‘Colorless’ Color
Polymer chemists at Nagoya Institute of Technology in Japan invented a novel and simple coating process to color metals, leading to higher performance and saving the energy. The method involves a chemical modification to non-ionic polymers and nanotechnology. Electrophoretic deposition is a standard industrial method for coating material and is especially used for rust prevention.…
