Researchers led by the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have extended the capacity and duration of sodium-aluminum batteries. The new sodium-based molten salt battery uses two distinct reactions. of peak charge capacity.

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. The rise of renewable solar and wind power is demanding sustainable storage technologies using components that are inexpensive, Earth-abundant and environmental friendly.

Aqua Metals has pioneered a new electro-hydrometallurgy process that uses renewable electricity and recycles the chemicals used. We take that black mass as the input to our process, which is then powered by 100% renewable, carbon-free energy. We use renewable electricity to plate high-purity metals, which is much more efficient.

So as you can see there is absolutely no comparison, an ICE car emits insane amounts of GHG’s compared to EV’s and we have not even featured ICE car manufacturing emissions in the discussion. 4] An electric car emits about 3,000 pounds or 1.36

At the depot, the spent fuel could be recharged with electricity from any source—solar, wind, hydroelectric, nuclear, or fossil fuels. In comparison, lithium-ion batteries cost around $138/kWh. Then there are the new battery chemistries that are not lithium based—for instance, sodium-ion and graphene-based batteries.
