Schematic of a redox flow battery. Sandia researchers have developed a new family of electrochemically reversible, metal-based ionic liquid (MetILs) that could lead to non-aqueous redox (reducing-oxidizing) flow-battery energy storage systems ( earlier post ) able to cost-effectively store three times more energy than today’s batteries.

Despite the advantageous properties of silicon as a high-capacity, next-generation anode material for Li-ion batteries, several well-known and widely investigated factors have hampered its successful integration in real-life batteries.

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. However, low capacity and poor rate capability of existing anodes have been major obstacles to the commercialization of NIBs. Prikhodchenko, Chad W.
