Not exact matches

The new biofuel product made by the BRIL researchers produces a product that has less alkali and alkaline earth metals, allowing them to be used at power plants.

The process, using room temperature mechanical ball milling, provides a lower cost method to produce these alkali metals which are widely used in industrial processes as reducing and drying agents, precursors in synthesis of complex metal hydrides, hydrogen storage materials, and in nuclear engineering.

So the scientists used a liquid mixture of sodium and another alkali metal, potassium, which they could slowly drip into water in drops of a uniform size and shape.

As of 2012, using ultra-low temperatures of 10 − 7 K or below, Bose — Einstein condensates had been obtained for a multitude of isotopes, mainly of alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, and lanthanide atoms (7Li, 23Na, 39K, 41K, 85Rb, 87Rb, 133Cs, 52Cr, 40Ca, 84Sr, 86Sr, 88Sr, 174Yb, 164Dy, and 168Er).

The use of an alkali - metal anode (lithium, sodium or potassium)-- which isn't possible with conventional batteries — increases the energy density of a cathode and delivers a long cycle life.

Instead of liquid electrolytes, the researchers rely on glass electrolytes that enable the use of an alkali - metal anode without the formation of dendrites.
