The hot brine that comes up from the subsurface as part of geothermal power production at the Salton Sea in California is a rich stew of minerals, including iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, and lithium. We’ll look at how quickly might you expect the resource to be regenerated—is it centuries? Credit: Jenny Nuss/Berkeley Lab).

Researchers at Empa and the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have developed a prototype of a novel solid-state sodium battery with the potential to store extra energy and with improved safety. The closo-borate sodium superionic conductor—Na 2 (B 12 H 12 ) 0.5 (B Resources. B 10 H 10 ) 0. —Duchêne et al. Duchêne et al.

RAL researchers are proposing a new process for the decomposition of ammonia to release hydrogen that involves the stoichiometric decomposition and formation of sodium amide from Na metal. To date, very few candidates show potential beyond that of the seminal work on titanium-doped sodium alanate. Credit: ACS, David et al.
