🔋 Manganese dioxide offers ultrahigh capacity for aqueous batteries but “dead Mn” kills performance.
The culprits? Electron starvation and proton imbalance.
Solutions exist: prevent formation, mitigate it, or regenerate it

🧪 Excellent coverage by @samillingworth.com ! Glaciers can’t cool us anymore as they’re melting faster as the planet warms. Awareness is crucial for spurring action!

#SciComm #ClimateCrisis #Glaciers #SciOpen #TUP 🌍🌐

Prof Sam Illingworth @samillingworth.com · 2d

🏔️ Glaciers lose their cooling edge

Scientists found that mountain glaciers will soon warm in step with the air around them, losing their brief cooling buffer and melting faster after midcentury.

#SciComm #ClimateCrisis #Glaciers 🧪

Mountain glaciers recouple to atmospheric warming over the twenty-first century - Nature Climate Change

It has been argued that air temperatures over mountain glaciers are decoupled from surrounding warming, which could slow down melting. Here the authors show that this effect will weaken with future glacier retreat, leading to a recoupling of temperatures from the 2030s onwards.
