A team from Stanford University and Ruhr-Universität Bochum have demonstrated the novel concept of a “desalination battery” that uses an electrical energy input to extract sodium and chloride ions from seawater and to generate fresh water. The electrodes are then recharged in this solution, releasing ions and creating brine.

Solid electrolytes are considered to be key components for next-generation lithium metal-based rechargeable batteries. The method used in this work has great potential for building reliable alkaline metal-based rechargeable batteries. The interdisciplinary research team published their findings in the current issue of Joule.

Although direct chemical reactions between water and certain metals—alkali metals including lithium, sodium and others—can produce a large amount of hydrogen in a short time, these reactions are too intense to be controlled. the high-school chemistry demonstration of the violent reaction between sodium and water.).

The battery in her EV is a variation on the flow battery , a design in which spent electrolyte is replaced rather than recharged. Flow batteries are safe, stable, long-lasting, and easily refilled, qualities that suit them well for balancing the grid, providing uninterrupted power, and backing up sources of electricity.

Video: EV Guru: Sodium-Ion Batteries are Coming Sooner Than You think! The mining industry cannot keep up with the demand, so the alternative is to manufacture batteries based on sodium chemistry. The big issue with sodium-ion batteries is that they can store only about two-thirds of the energy of Li-ion batteries of equivalent size.

Sodium-ion batteries have been of considerable interest due to sodium’s abundance compared to lithium, which is over 500 times less common. The new battery technology addresses some of the fundamental limitations of current sodium-ion batteries , such as lower power output and longer charging times.

Robert Privette: Rechargeable batteries are among the building blocks for the green energy transition. However, at the start of its useful life an EV tends to come with a higher “carbon backpack” because of the battery. Recycling, when done properly, reduces a battery’s carbon backpack considerably compared to mining.

The electric car features three different battery options, two different Lithium-based (LI) systems – A123Systems and Enerdel as well as a Sodium-Nickel battery Zebra (Mes-Dea). Today we could be using lead-acid EVs, lead-carbon-acid EVs, or nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion hybrids. safety requirements.
