Breakthrough Solid Electrolyte Design Strategy Enables Liquid-Like Customization for Advanced Batteries

Scientists have created a novel solid dissociation method that enables liquid-like compositional design for solid-state electrolytes. The approach allows customization for extreme temperatures, high conductivity, and cost-effective materials, potentially revolutionizing battery technology.

Revolutionary Approach to Solid-State Electrolytes

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking design strategy for solid-state electrolytes that offers unprecedented compositional flexibility, according to reports in Nature Energy. The new methodology enables customization of electrolyte properties through a solid dissociation process analogous to how salts dissolve in liquid electrolytes, potentially transforming energy storage applications from consumer electronics to extreme environment operations.

China’s Thermal Power Generation Declines as Hydropower Surges in September

China’s thermal power generation dropped 5.4% in September compared to the same period last year, according to recent statistics bureau data. The decline comes as hydropower output surged nearly 32% year-on-year, marking a significant shift in the country’s energy mix. Overall electricity generation still increased by 1.5% despite the reduction in fossil fuel-based power.

Shift in China’s Energy Mix as Hydropower Rebounds

China’s fossil fuel-based power generation reportedly declined by 5.4% in September compared to the same period last year, according to recent data from the National Bureau of Statistics. The decrease in thermal power output, which primarily comes from coal with some natural gas contribution, occurred alongside a substantial 31.9% increase in hydropower generation, sources indicate.

UK Government Announces Major Clean Energy Jobs Initiative Amid Economic Debate

The UK government has unveiled plans to create 400,000 positions in the clean energy sector, promising well-paid jobs across industrial regions. Opposition critics warn that current net zero policies are driving up electricity costs and causing job losses in traditional energy sectors.

Major Employment Initiative for Clean Energy Transition

The United Kingdom government has announced ambitious plans to create 400,000 jobs in the clean energy sector, according to reports from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. The initiative aims to bring “a new generation of good industrial jobs” to communities across the nation, with sources indicating these positions will offer significantly higher-than-average salaries.
