It is a simple, low-cost approach that can be applied to a broad range of alloy systems with various working ions such as Li, Na, or Mg. The results suggest that a smaller, lighter rechargeable battery could be made with the new anode in the future. The research was published in the journal ACS Energy Letters. Earlier post.).

While rechargeable batteries are the solution of choice for consumer-level use, they are impractical for grid-scale consideration. They used nickel and aluminium as materials for the cathode and anode respectively, with sodium aluminium tetrachloride (NaAlCl 4 ) as the molten-salt electrolyte—all relatively cheap, earth-abundant materials.

What is the range of the PRT before it needs to be recharged and/or how many hours can it operate before recharging? With a typical simulated stop-go cycle and by putting the vehicle out of service when the batteries reach 20% of their charge, this means about 3-4 hours of continuous service before a long recharge is needed.
