A surprising breakthrough could help sodium-ion batteries rival lithium—and even turn seawater into drinking water. Scientists discovered that keeping water inside a key battery material, instead of ...

Layered transition-metal oxides are among the most promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries because of their high theoretical capacity and low cost. However, conventional designs rely on ...

Half a century ago, the battery of the future was built out of sodium. The reason has to do with why the seas are salty. Sodium is a light element that ionizes easily, giving up one of its electrons.

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

European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) to put sodium batteries at the center of its EU industrial strategy work, calls for swift action. Opinions, stakeholder debates and a dedicated study ...

Researchers in Japan have made a significant achievement that could help unlock safer, high-performance ...

While everyone else was worrying about cheap oil and the future of electric cars, sodium batteries just got closer to becoming mainstream. This challenger to lithium ion technology has been around for ...
