Researchers develop rechargeable hybrid-seawater fuel cell; highly energy density, stable cycling

Green Car Congress

The circulating seawater in the open-cathode system results in a continuous supply of sodium ions, endowing the system with superior cycling stability that allows the application of various alternative anodes to sodium metal by compensating for irreversible charge losses. an alloying material), in full sodium-ion configuration.

New high energy, highly stable cathode for sodium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

F 0.7 , for sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries (NIBs). While high-energy Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are expected to contribute in part to the solution, the high cost and low stability prohibit wide application in this area, the researchers observe. Ragone plot for the new Na 1.5 cathode and other cathode materials for NIBs. Click to enlarge.

New solid-electrolyte interphase may boost prospects for rechargeable Li-metal batteries

Green Car Congress

Rechargeable lithium metal batteries with increased energy density, performance, and safety may be possible with a newly-developed, solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), according to Penn State researchers. The same approach was also applied to design stable SEI layers for sodium and zinc anodes. Credit: Donghai Wang,Penn State.

Stanford team develops sodium-ion battery with performance equivalent to Li-ion, but at much lower cost

Green Car Congress

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.

Univ. of Texas researchers propose lithium- or sodium-water batteries as next generation of high-capacity battery technology; applicable for EVs and grid storage

Green Car Congress

Example of a lithium-water rechargeable battery. Researchers at the University of Texas, including Dr. John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. The present sodium-sulfur battery operates above 300 °C.
