Lithium-ion batteries are the standard, but researchers have been experimenting with novel designs, and this one completely ...

Fuel cells that react liquid sodium metal with air could be the power source required to give electric airplanes much longer ranges, a new paper has proposed. The idea has yet to leave the laboratory ...

SWBs are a promising type of sodium-based battery technology which uses seawater as the cathode. One of their advantages is the ability to store energy over short and long timeframes and provide even ...

U.S. scientists used density functional theory to reveal how sodium ions are stored in nanoporous carbon anodes for sodium-ion batteries, identifying dual ionic and metallic storage mechanisms within ...

Researchers and scientists began work on sodium-ion battery development as early as the late 1970s to the early 1980s, and continued to progress throughout the eighties. However, lithium-ion batteries ...

Researchers reveal new mechanisms governing the storage and the movement of sodium ions in hard carbon nanopore anodes.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — As the world’s need for energy storage increases, sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a less expensive and more environmentally friendly complement to ...

In recent years, the popularity of sodium-ion batteries has suddenly risen. Chinese companies such as Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), Gotion Hi-Tech, EVE Energy and BYD are all engaging in ...
