Chery to be 1st automaker to adopt CATL's sodium-ion batteries

CN EV Post

In the passenger car segment, sodium-ion batteries can generally meet the needs of models with a range of up to 400 kilometers, a CATL executive previously said. CATL's sodium-ion batteries are not far from starting to be installed in vehicles, after the Chinese power battery giant unveiled the new batteries in July 2021.

Chalmers team develops graphite-like anode for Na-ion batteries; Janus graphene

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a nanometric graphite-like anode for sodium ion (Na + storage), formed by stacked graphene sheets functionalized only on one side, termed Janus graphene. The estimated sodium storage up to C 6.9 100 to 150 mA h g ? 100 to 150 mA h g ?1

U Waterloo team identifies key reaction in sodium-air batteries; implications for improving Li-air

Green Car Congress

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.

New high energy, highly stable cathode for sodium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers in South Korea have developed a novel high-energy cathode material, Na 1.5 F 0.7 , for sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries (NIBs). This new material provides an energy density of 600 Wh kg –1 , the highest value among Na-ion cathodes. by tailoring the polyanion group of the crystal and expanding the redox range to V3.8+/V5+
