Stanford team develops sodium-ion battery with performance equivalent to Li-ion, but at much lower cost

Green Car Congress

Stanford researchers have developed a sodium-ion battery (SIB) that can store the same amount of energy as a state-of-the-art lithium ion, at substantially lower cost. The rise of renewable solar and wind power is demanding sustainable storage technologies using components that are inexpensive, Earth-abundant and environmental friendly.

Researchers call for integration of materials sustainability into battery research; the need for in situ monitoring

Green Car Congress

We need new storage technologies if more renewables are to be used on the electrical grid; similarly, the electrification of transport requires much cheaper and longer-lasting batteries.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

UCS also reported that once the grid is fully renewable, the number for EVs is reduced to 41 g CO2 eq./km. years if the car is charged using renewable energy. This is 2 to 3 times lower than the 150-200kg of CO2eq estimate measured by the same researchers in 2017. So, how clean is EV battery manufacturing?
