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. h is achieved with an estimated raw active materials cost of $7.02 of peak charge capacity.

RAL researchers are proposing a new process for the decomposition of ammonia to release hydrogen that involves the stoichiometric decomposition and formation of sodium amide from Na metal. Arguably, this focus may have diminished the consideration of reversibility, cost, and practicality of use of these materials. Click to enlarge.
