New high-performance Na-ion battery with SO2-based catholyte; potential for other non-Li-metal-based battery systems

Green Car Congress

Researchers in South Korea have demonstrated new type of room-temperature and high-energy density sodium rechargeable battery using a sulfur dioxide (SO 2 )-based inorganic molten complex catholyte that serves as both a Na + -conducting medium and cathode material (i.e. catholyte). mA cm −2 ). mA cm −2 ).

Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?

Cars That Think

The prototype’s success encouraged several of the principal investigators to spin off a company, called Influit Energy , to commercialize the technology. Influit is also working with a commercial partner to pilot nanoelectrofuel flow batteries in their line of electric utility vehicles. Similarly, the U.S.
