Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology IWS in Dresden have developed a new battery cell production process that coats the electrodes of the energy storage cells with a dry film instead of liquid chemicals. BroadBit uses it to produce new types of sodium-ion batteries. © Fraunhofer IWS. 2019.05.033.

Batteries based on this system allow the use of various anode materials, such as lithium and sodium, without the requirement to develop new cathode intercalation materials. This cathode has a theoretical specific capacity of 187 mAh g -1 if the final discharge product is NaO 2. —Hibino et al. under milder conditions than usual.

Fraser Stoddart at Northwestern and his colleagues set themselves a challenge to synthesize MOFs from natural products. In many countries (for example the USA and Japan), cyclodextrins are approved for use as food additives. Fraser Stoddart (2010) Metal-Organic Frameworks from Edible Natural Products. Smaldone et al.

Liquid sodium is used as a coolant because it does not slow down neutrons as much as water does. Japan also developed a fast breeder power reactor, one that proved to be a costly mistake, prompting a decision in 2016 to decommission it. Direct plutonium production could make much more fuel each year,” says Zhang.

Ninety-nine percent of used lead-based automotive batteries in the EU available for collection are recycled, making them one of the most recycled consumer products, according to a new report by consultancy IHS. The spent electrolyte (diluted sulfuric acid, approximately 30% of the weight) is treated in a variety of ways.
