Univ. of Texas researchers propose lithium- or sodium-water batteries as next generation of high-capacity battery technology; applicable for EVs and grid storage

Green Car Congress

Example of a lithium-water rechargeable battery. Researchers at the University of Texas, including Dr. John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. The present sodium-sulfur battery operates above 300 °C.

Antimony nanocrystals as high-capacity anode materials for both Li-ion and Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Initial studies revealed that antimony could be suitable for both rechargeable lithium- and sodium-ion batteries because it is able to store both kinds of ions. Sodium is regarded as a possible low-cost alternative to lithium as it is much more naturally abundant and its reserves are more evenly distributed on Earth.

Mitsubishi and Tokyo Institute of Technology Developing EV Smart Charging from Wind Turbines

Green Car Congress

In order to store electricity generated at night, windmill operators need to install sodium-sulfur battery systems, which are as costly as power generators. It collects data both on power generation and electric vehicle recharging. But they often are not interested in buying power produced at night because of weak demand.
