SEPTEMBER 20, 2012
GE’s Energy Storage business announced $63 million in new Durathon sodium-halide battery orders since the business launched in July. The technology is unique because it can function in a variety of extreme conditions and store as much energy as lead-acid batteries twice its size while lasting up to 10 times as long. Earlier post.)

John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. The present sodium-sulfur battery operates above 300 °C. A = lithium or sodium (Li or Na), M represents a metal and 1 ≤ n < z. —Lu et al.
