Tests conducted by Titirici Group , a multidisciplinary research team based at Imperial College London, have found that a novel carbon nanotube electrode material derived from CO 2 —produced by Estonian nanotech company UP Catalyst ( earlier post )—enhances the cyclability of sodium-ion batteries. From every 3.7

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?

Researchers from George Washington University and Vanderbilt University have demonstrated the conversion of atmospheric CO 2 into carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for use as high-performance anodes in both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. times above that of sodium-ion batteries with graphite electrodes.

We’re excited about this discovery and the prospect of creating a completely new industry in Wyoming. However, the Rock Springs Uplift CO 2 storage site is located within 20 to 30 miles of the world’s largest industrial soda ash supplies, so the costs of soda ash delivery (by rail, truck or pipeline) would be minimal.

There is a tremendous amount of industrial and scientific interest in supercritical CO 2 systems for power generation using all potential heat sources including solar, geothermal, fossil fuel, biofuel and nuclear. The same principle is used to power jet engines today. This machine is basically a jet engine running on a hot liquid.

A focus on tailpipe CO2 emissions has distracted away from the impact of car production, suggests Professor Frank Figge who co-authored the ‘Sustainable Value in Automobile Manufacturing’ study. Its sodium oxide value contributions show the worst level of resource efficiency in the entire study.
