PNNL team develops high-capacity nanocomposite anode for Na-ion batteries based on multi-component alloying reactions

Green Car Congress

Researchers at US Department of Energy (DOE) Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have demonstrated a new tin-antimony (SnSb/C) nanocomposite based on sodium (Na) alloying reactions as an anode for Na-ion battery applications. Li alloys have been extensively investigated as high capacity anodes for Li-ion batteries.
