Empa, UNIGE team develop prototype solid-state sodium battery; focus on improving the solid-solid interface

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Empa and the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have developed a prototype of a novel solid-state sodium battery with the potential to store extra energy and with improved safety. The closo-borate sodium superionic conductor—Na 2 (B 12 H 12 ) 0.5 (B Resources. B 10 H 10 ) 0. —DuchĂȘne et al.

KAUST uses laser pulses to boost performance of MXene electrode

Green Car Congress

Graphite contains flat layers of carbon atoms, and during battery charging, lithium atoms are stored between these layers in a process called intercalation. With the nanodots in place, the material had a four-fold higher electrical storage capacity than the original MXene and almost reached the theoretical maximum capacity of graphite.

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. The future grid will face significant challenges by providing clean power from intermittent resources to a much more dynamic load. electricity) to hybrid and electrical vehicles, although the cost of implementing EES is of great concern.
