Solid-state sodium battery company LiNa Energy ( earlier post ) has closed out a £3.5-million LiNa Energy, a spin-out from Lancaster University, established in 2017, is commercializing a safe, cobalt- and lithium-free solid-state sodium battery. million (US$4.8-million) To date LiNa Energy has secured more than £7 million (US$9.5
The Truth About Cars
DECEMBER 28, 2023
JAC Motors has developed a new EV sporting a sodium-ion battery that it says has lower costs and more abundant raw materials. EVs are entirely too expensive, and tax credit rules are confusing, making it difficult for the general car-buying public to afford an electric car and then understand how it impacts them financially going forward.

Through DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E), the Department is launching the Electric Vehicles for American Low-Carbon Living (EVs4ALL) program to develop more affordable, convenient, efficient and resilient batteries. lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca)]. Oxide-based anodes.

Concentration and price collapse For now, global economic weakness has depressed buying of new vehicles and led lithium prices to dive. Saudi Arabia’s oil wealth means it can afford to take a financial risk and its diversification plans include establishing itself as a hub for EVs to make use of whatever lithium it produces.

I wanted to see if I could make it easy and affordable to build a spectrometer. You can buy various used scintillator crystals on eBay fairly cheaply: I purchased a small sodium iodide crystal, 18 millimeters in diameter and 30 mm long, for about US $40. The boxes beneath each spectrum show the raw, uncalibrated data.

The plant will process current NMC (nickel, manganese, cobalt and lithium) battery technologies, but will also be equipped to process mid-term high-manganese (HLM) as well as longer-term solid-state battery technologies and future sodium-ion. LFP is popular in China due to strong local government incentives and the domestic LFP ecosystem.
