Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a nanometric graphite-like anode for sodium ion (Na + storage), formed by stacked graphene sheets functionalized only on one side, termed Janus graphene. The estimated sodium storage up to C 6.9 Na is comparable to graphite for standard lithium ion batteries.

Schematic of a sodium-nickel chloride cell with planar design. A planar (flat) sodium-nickel chloride battery could deliver 30% more power at lower temperatures than the typical cylindrical design, according to researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

Lithium-intercalation compounds and sodium-intercalation compounds are used for anode and cathode, respectively. During charging (or discharging), the storage (or release) of Li + takes place at anode, and the release (or storage) of Na + occurs at cathode. After charging, the Li + /Na + ratio rose to 1/10.

The shelf-life of stored charge in rechargeable devices does not scale linearly with maximum SP and has led to trends referred to as ‘range-anxiety’, ‘compulsive charging’, etc. The driving miles per recharge time (min) for commercially viable battery technology is ~0.1–0.4 plugin EVs to Tesla’s 85 kWh battery pack).

Although silicon is an abundantly available element with ten times the gravimetric energy density of graphite, several performance issues continue to limit its commercial exploitation. The FLG flakes preserve the degree of separation between the silicon particles with each battery charge cycle. Source: WMG. Click to enlarge.
