New mesoporous crystalline Si exhibits increased rate of H2 production; potential use in Li-ion batteries also

Green Car Congress

The nanosized crystalline primary particles and high surface areas enable an increased rate of photocatalytic hydrogen production from water and extended working life. They then treat the material with a sodium potassium alloy. There are some processes that use sodium potassium alloy at industrial levels.

Energy storage: the key to a decarbonised future

Setec Powerr

This article will answer your confusion. Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. Energy storage with pumped hydro systems based on large water reservoirs has been widely implemented over much of the past century to become the most common form of utility-scale storage globally.

Lamborghini licenses MIT’s Cobalt-free organic battery tech for EVs – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Within the molecules are chemical groups called quinones, which are the electron reservoirs, and amines, which help the material to form strong hydrogen bonds, explained the study published in the journal ACS Central Science. These layers can extend outward in every direction, forming a structure similar to graphite.

Debunking the Lithium "Mining" FUD

Plug In India

Team PluginIndia The Lithium mining FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) created by some paid media organizations and random YouTube channels is so bad, that many people read headlines of such articles and assume that Lithium mining is the worst thing in the world and is worse than extracting and refining 10,000 liters of oil used by an average ICE car.
