For the proof-of-concept, the cells were manufactured to be larger than necessary to avoid unnecessary costs and lengthy manufacturing processes at this early stage. Sodium-ion intercalation batteries—i.e., Thus, insertion/deinsertion of sodium ions in a host material is much more difficult than that of lithium ions.

Researchers at the Leibnitz Institute for Catalysis (Rostock, Germany) have introduced a new approach to hydrogen storage that is based on simple salts of formic acid and carbonic acid. A fundamental problem with the use of these storage materials is the separation of the carbon dioxide formed when the hydrogen is released.

Researchers at the University of Wyoming Carbon Management Institute (CMI) discovered a major new lithium resource near Rock Springs during a geological carbon dioxide storage site characterization project sponsored by the US Department of Energy. By comparison, the lithium reserves at Silver Peak, Nev.—the
