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 ...

Scientists discovered that keeping water in sodium vanadate hydrate doubles a sodium battery’s charge capacity and stability. The same technology can also remove salt from seawater, creating potential ...

Researchers found that a Chinese sodium-ion battery performs far better than expected, with production quality and design features comparable to Tesla’s batteries. If engineers can improve ...

Two years ago, sodium-ion battery pioneer Natron Energy was busy preparing its specially formulated sodium batteries for mass production. The company slipped a little past its 2023 kickoff plans, but ...

Solid-state sodium batteries use sodium, a more abundant and accessible resource compared to lithium. Sodium is primarily derived from sodium chloride, which is abundant in seawater and readily ...

The team led by Assoc Prof Palani Balaya (third from left) have developed a high-performance, dendrite-free all-solid-state sodium battery using a low-cost 2D material based solid polymer electrolyte ...
