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.

The price of the lithium-ion batteries used in the EVs is the main culprit for the high initial cost of any electric vehicle in any part of the world. It’s easy to talk about plans for domestic battery production plants, but it’s hard to compete with the pricing of subsidized imported batteries. Taking a Closer Look.
