The new battery design could help ease integration of renewable energy into the electrical grid at lower cost, using Earth-abundant metals, according to a study just published in Energy Storage Materials. The new sodium-based molten salt battery uses two distinct reactions. of peak charge capacity. —Weller et al.

The IMO’s previous goal was a 50 percent reduction by 2050 in comparison with 2008 levels. Researchers are considering three different types: a lead-cooled fast reactor, a uranium-fueled, helium-gas-cooled reactor, and a molten-salt-cooled reactor, shown here [below, at bottom]. One is a thorium-fueled molten-salt reactor.
