Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have devised an alloying strategy that enables sodium-beta batteries to operate at significantly lower temperatures. The new electrode enables sodium-beta batteries to last longer, helps streamline their manufacturing process and reduces the risk of accidental fire.

Video: EV Guru: Sodium-Ion Batteries are Coming Sooner Than You think! The mining industry cannot keep up with the demand, so the alternative is to manufacture batteries based on sodium chemistry. The big issue with sodium-ion batteries is that they can store only about two-thirds of the energy of Li-ion batteries of equivalent size.

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. This area currently has three areas of focus: Intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells; Polymer electrolyte fuel cells; and. Rechargeable metal-air batteries.
