Chemists at the University of Waterloo have identified the key reaction that takes place in sodium-air batteries. Understanding how sodium-oxygen batteries work has implications for developing the more powerful lithium-oxygen battery, which has been proposed by some as the “holy grail” of electrochemical energy storage.

Upon potassiation, the stage-one KC 8 forms via stage-three KC 36 and stage-two KC 24 as intermediate phases in which the phase transformations are reversible in converting KC 8 back to a less crystalline graphite. The soft carbon also exhibited a high depotassiation capacity of 273 mAh/g at C/40—the same as graphite.

Researchers at the Beijing Institute of Technology have found a way to process biomass-derived natural silk to create carbon-based nanosheets that could potentially be used in Li-ion batteries and other energy storage devices. A paper on their work is published in the journal ACS Nano. Click to enlarge. —Hou et al.

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. We need a way of producing alternative cleaner fuels, minimizing use of hydrocarbons, or at a minimum recycling the carbon dioxide to form these more useful fuels.

Startups have this innate potential to take up an idea and converting it into a viable business plan then scaling it into a massive success. Jeetender Sharma and Rupali Sharma started the Indian electric two-wheeler firm Okinawa in Gurugram in 2015. Whenever the world is shaken by new technology, it is most probably by a start-up.

In an integrated system, stored hydrogen can be converted back to electricity or used as a feedstock with atmospheric or source carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) to produce a liquid fuel for heavy-duty vehicles including trucks and jet planes. The 2015 cost target was $2-$3/gge. transit buses or other heavy duty vehicles).
