A research team of scientists from China's Chongqing University and the State Grid Corporation of China has experimentally investigated the aging mechanism of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Using the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sodium-ion batteries are being investigated as a viable cost-effective, more environmentally friendly, and easier-to-source alternative to lithium-ion. 60% capacity is retained after 300 cycles.

An E10X sodium-ion-powered microcar in yellow. E10X, a microcar made by the Chinese firm JAC Yiwei, a joint venture between JAC and Volkswagen, is one of the first mass-produced vehicles to be powered ...

A rechargeable battery technology that offers advantages over lithium-ion. Sodium-ion batteries can be significantly less expensive because sodium (salt) is much more abundant and cheaper to extract ...

A team at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems (IKTS) has developed a new type of sodium-ion battery that uses lignin as a key electrode material. Lignin is a natural ...

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 ...
