PNNL team develops electrolyte for high-voltage sodium-ion battery with extended longevity

Green Car Congress

Cheap and abundant, sodium is a promising candidate for new battery technology. However, the limited performance of sodium-ion batteries has hindered large-scale application. Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) have attracted worldwide attention for next-generation energy storage systems. A paper on the work appears in Nature Energy.

False Starts: The Story of Vehicle-to-Grid Power

Cars That Think

They wanted to see whether an electric vehicle could feed electricity back to the grid. The company’s president, Tom Gage , dubbed the system “vehicle to grid” or V2G. And EV owners would become entrepreneurs, selling electricity back to the grid. And indeed, that’s how promoters of vehicle-to-grid technology perceive the EV.
