Cost (and Cost Comparison) A recent study showed 67% of would-be purchasers claim cost is a primary concern. Grid Development Two factors are crucial to the expansion of a nationwide grid that can meet the needs of future EV drivers.

In a paper in Nature Materials , a team of researchers from BASF SE and Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen report on the performance of a sodium-air (sodium superoxide) cell. Their work, they suggest, demonstrates that substitution of lithium by sodium may offer an unexpected route towards rechargeable metal–air batteries.

C, in comparison with bare sulfur and sulfur–TiO 2 core–shell nanoparticles. To prepare the material, the team reacted sodium thiosulfate with hydrochloric acid to create monodisperse sulfur nanoparticles (NPs); these NPs were then coated with TiO 2 , resulting in the formation of sulfur–TiO 2 core–shell nanoparticles. —Yi Cui.

We all say there’s a tidal wave of this material coming in in the near future. There are real challenges with waste streams—they yield a lot of sulfuric acid and sodium sulfate, which will need to get landfilled. Nissan Leafs are coming in now, the early Teslas are coming in. The more collection we do, the better for the environment.

The size of these batteries (in comparison to those used for portable electronics) places severe pressure on materials resources. Admittedly, these “batteries of the future” face numerous hurdles. For example, in the case of Mg-ion batteries there is difficulty to identify materials capable of inserting Mg 2+ ions beyond 1.3V

If electric cars have to deliver the future we all expect them to, there will need to be several advances made in the coming years. Also on the cards, and often touted as a solution, are sodium-ion batteries. The first, of course, involves the greening of battery components; specifically the mining and production of lithium.

The “simplicity” of EVs in comparison to ICE vehicles allows these disruptors to compete from virtually scratch with legacy automakers, not only in the car market itself, but for the material and labor inputs as well. It is little wonder that Tesla CEO Elon Musk calls EV factories “ gigantic money furnaces.”.
