The global auto giant Stellantis has done a deal with a French battery-maker to secure fresh sodium-ion battery technology for its future EVs that could see electric cars finally undercut petrol cars on purchase price. Not that sodium-ion batteries are perfect, not just yet at least. READ MORE: Range anxiety solved?

Prototype sodium silicate hydrogen generation system as presented earlier this year at DOE merit review. The H300 utilizes real-time swappable cartridges that generate hydrogen on demand using SiGNa’s proprietary sodium silicide (NaSi) powder. Sodium-Silica-Gel: 2Na-SG + H 2 O → H 2 + Na 2 Si 2 O 5.

GE Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt shows a sodium-metal halide battery cell at the press conference announcing the battery plant. GE says the planned facility will produce approximately 10 million sodium-metal halide cells each year—equivalent to 900 MWh of energy storage, or enough to support 1,000 GE hybrid locomotives.

For example the volumetric energy density of lithium-ion batteries has increased eightfold since 2008, from around 55 watt-hours/litre to 450 watt-hours/litre in 2020. At the same time the cost of lithium-ion battery packs declined 87% between 2008 and 2021. Another chemistry that is coming onstream is sodium ion.

In 2008, GE Transportation announced that it would work with the C-MAR Group to demonstrate the feasibility of a new hybrid tugboat technology. GE provided a packaged hybrid propulsion system that featured its V228 or V250 medium-speed diesel engines, a generator and a new generation of sodium-based chemistry batteries.
