One of the more promising candidates for batteries beyond the current standard of lithium-ion materials is the sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery. Na-ion is particularly attractive because of the greater abundance and lower cost of sodium compared with lithium. In addition, when cycled at high voltage (4.5

Schematic of a sodium-nickel chloride cell with planar design. A planar (flat) sodium-nickel chloride battery could deliver 30% more power at lower temperatures than the typical cylindrical design, according to researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

A much less discussed, but debilitating drawback for the commercial viability of Li–S batteries, is the use of the ether electrolyte itself. But to improve the commercial path of the cathodes, the group realized it needed to make them function with a commercially viable electrolyte. —Pai et al. —Vibha Kalra.

Car technology has never been in such a state of flux as it is now, and given lithium-ion batteries only really became a commercial big deal in the 1990s, the sudden shift towards cars powered by them is extraordinary. SIBs are benign, containing no lithium or cobalt, and sodium is abundant worldwide.
