Researchers from UNSW Sydney (Australia) report in an open-access paper in the Journal of Power Sources on the use of hard carbons derived from automotive shredder residue (ASR) as a suitable anode electroactive material for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs). The situation is much worse for graphite.

John Goodenough, known around the world for his pioneering work that led to the invention of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, have devised a new strategy for a safe, low-cost, all-solid-state rechargeable sodium or lithium battery cell that has the required energy density and cycle life for a battery that powers an all-electric road vehicle.

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.

For capacitors, voltage translates to electrons stored —the voltage drop across a capacitor is proportional to its total charge.) A team including researchers from Japan’s Tohoku University recently developed a durable, efficient energy harvester that combines piezoelectric composites with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP).

The Jadar project would support the evolution of Rio Tinto—one of the world’s largest miners—into a chemical producer to make battery-grade lithium carbonate, a critical mineral used in large-scale batteries for electric vehicles and storing renewable energy. This is a significant moment for the lithium industry.

The thermochemical production of hydrogen and oxygen from water via a series of chemical reactions is of interest because it directly converts thermal energy into stored chemical energy (hydrogen and oxygen), and thus can take advantage of excess heat given off by other processes.
