Video: EV Guru: Sodium-Ion Batteries are Coming Sooner Than You think! The mining industry cannot keep up with the demand, so the alternative is to manufacture batteries based on sodium chemistry. The big issue with sodium-ion batteries is that they can store only about two-thirds of the energy of Li-ion batteries of equivalent size.

Researchers at the University of Texas, including Dr. 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. Example of a lithium-water rechargeable battery.

China is in the middle of a big buildup of its nuclear-weapon arsenal,” says Frank von Hippel , a physicist and nuclear-policy expert at Princeton University. “My Liquid sodium is used as a coolant because it does not slow down neutrons as much as water does. Weapons-grade plutonium can be separated chemically from the blanket.
