Researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed hollow carbon nanowires (HCNWs) for use as anode material for Na-ion batteries. The researchers attributed the good sodium-ion insertion properties to the short diffusion distance in the HCNWs and the large interlayer distance (0.37 Credit: ACS, Cao et al.

A major barrier to the use of high energy capacity silicon in a lithium-ion battery is the volumetric expansion of silicon under lithiation and delithiation, which results in electrode degradation and capacity fade. Silicon (shown in grey) is capable of holding 10 times as many lithium ions (shown in pink) as currently-used anodes.

A team from Stanford University and Ruhr-Universität Bochum have demonstrated the novel concept of a “desalination battery” that uses an electrical energy input to extract sodium and chloride ions from seawater and to generate fresh water. A constant current is then applied in order to remove the ions from the solution.

Cycling performance of Li/SeS 2 ?C, Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have developed selenium and selenium–sulfur (Se x S y )-based cathode materials for a new class of room-temperature lithium and sodium batteries. Unlike the widely studied Li/S system, both Se and Se x S y can be cycled to high voltages (up to 4.6
