Expanded graphite as a superior anode for sodium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the University of Maryland, with colleagues at the University of Illinois at Chicago, report on a new method for expanding graphite for use as a superior anode for sodium-ion batteries in a paper in Nature Communications. Sodium (Na) is an earth-abundant and inexpensive element, and shares many properties with lithium.

Yissum offering novel high-performance anode for sodium-ion batteries; antimony sulphide nanoparticle-coated graphene

Green Car Congress

Sodium-ion batteries (Na-ion, NIBs) are seen as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries for large-scale applications due to their lower cost and abundant supply of sodium. We also demonstrate a battery with the stibnite–graphene composite that is free from sodium metal, having energy density up to 80? Batteries'

Researchers improve the performance of sodium-ion batteries by using tailored carbon anodes with hierarchical porosity

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany, have improved the performance of sodium-ion batteries ( earlier post ) by using tailor-made carbon materials with hierarchical porosity for the anode instead of common carbon-based anode materials. Advance Article doi: 10.1039/C1EE01744F. Performance of the new anodes.

Chery to be 1st automaker to adopt CATL's sodium-ion batteries

CN EV Post

In the passenger car segment, sodium-ion batteries can generally meet the needs of models with a range of up to 400 kilometers, a CATL executive previously said. CATL's sodium-ion batteries are not far from starting to be installed in vehicles, after the Chinese power battery giant unveiled the new batteries in July 2021.
