Sodium-Ion Powered EVs Roll off From Chinese EV Factories

Get Electric Vehicle

The first mass-produced electric vehicle (EV) using a sodium-ion battery has been introduced by JAC Motors. While lithium-ion batteries are more developed and have a higher density than sodium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries are cheaper, dependable, and have better cold-weather performance. Why Sodium-ion Batteries?

Wuhan team develops new electrochemical cell for efficient, pollution-free extraction of lithium from salt lake brines

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Wuhan University in China have developed a new electrochemical cell, PANI/Li x Mn 2 O 4 , for selective recovery of Li + ions from brine water with high impurity cations (K + , Na + , Mg 2+ , etc). This method avoids using additional chemicals, offering a high efficiency, pollution?free Zhao et al. Zhao, A. , and Cao, Y.

Converting Coal Power Plants to Nuclear Gains Steam

Cars That Think

In Hainan, China, Linglong One —the world’s first small modular reactor plant—is now under construction.) A specific challenge would-be-conversions must face is that the NRC’s standards—both for atmospheric pollution and for the amount of radiological material a reactor can release—are much tighter than federal standards for coal plants.

Low-cost 5V dual carbon battery development for EV 

Electric Vehicles India

The researchers also demonstrated the 100-200 mAh sodium-ion cells at the Research Centre Imarat (RCI) in the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) laboratory, in Hyderabad. This would motivate individuals to go for EV, which would help in reducing problems such as traffic management and pollution.
