Stanford researchers have developed a sodium-ion battery (SIB) that can store the same amount of energy as a state-of-the-art lithium ion, at substantially lower cost. Thus, further research is required to find better sodium host materials. The sodium salt makes up the cathode; the anode is made up of phosphorous.

The Skyblade 360 fuel cell system developed by HES and DSO is extremely lightweight in comparison to lithium batteries that typically power this aircraft, and it is also extremely compact: its 1L fuel cartridge holds 1000 Wh of usable energy. It took HES several years to achieve this performance.

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.

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

A team at the Ohio State University has developed a membrane that regulates bi-directional ion transport across it as a function of its redox state and that could be used as a programmable smart membrane separator in future supercapacitors and redox flow batteries. plugin EVs to Tesla’s 85 kWh battery pack). —Herya and Sundaresan.

Aqua Metals works with companies that are really good at collecting, safely transporting, storing, crushing and separating spent lithium-ion batteries. We all say there’s a tidal wave of this material coming in in the near future. Those are the main suite of critical battery minerals that you’re after when you recycle.
