Tantalum is a reactive and refractory metal. The periodic table shows it between reactive metals (titanium, zirconium, and hafnium) and refractory metals (molybdenum and tungsten). Tantalum and its sister element niobium are similar to these two elements in many ways, but also have many differences. Tantalum reacts with carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen, reactions that […]
Electrochemical devices will play a key role as one of the solutions for the transition to renewable energy. Technologies such as water electrolyzers, fuel cells, and redox flow batteries can help achieve widespread electrification while coping with intermittent energy production. Both the cost and performance of these energy solutions have improved dramatically over the past […]
