NETL investigating researching chemistries for large-scale battery- and supercapacitor-based grid energy storage systems

Green Car Congress

This includes research on appropriate anodes, cathodes, and electrolytes for magnesium (Mg)-, sodium (Na)-, and lithium (Li)-based batteries and novel transition metal oxide- and nitride-based supercapacitor electrode materials. Magnesium is much more abundant in the Earth’s crust, making it less expensive than Li by a factor of 24.
