A new metal mesh membrane developed by researchers at MIT could advance the use of the Na–NiCl 2 displacement battery, which has eluded widespread adoption owing to the fragility of the ?"-Al through the MIT Energy Initiative. Al 2 O 3 membrane. A paper describing the development is published in the journal Nature Energy.

Chemists at the University of Waterloo have identified the key reaction that takes place in sodium-air batteries. Understanding how sodium-oxygen batteries work has implications for developing the more powerful lithium-oxygen battery, which has been proposed by some as the “holy grail” of electrochemical energy storage.

It’s been known that dendrites form more rapidly when the current flow is higher—which is generally desirable in order to allow rapid charging. At the ordinary temperatures that the battery operates in, “it stays in a regime where you have both a solid phase and a liquid phase,” in this case made of a mixture of sodium and potassium.

Researchers led by a team from MIT, with colleagues from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), BMW Group, and Tokyo Institute of Technology have developed a fundamentally new approach to alter ion mobility and stability against oxidation of lithium ion conductors—a key component of rechargeable batteries—using lattice dynamics.

The new battery also has comparable storage capacity and can be charged up faster than cobalt batteries. Researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ), including one of Indian-origin, have designed a new battery material that could offer a more sustainable, cobalt-free way to power electric cars.

Total has signed a research agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop new stationary batteries that are designed to enable the storage of solar power. This agreement valued at $4 million over five years is part of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI), which Total joined as a member in November 2008.
