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 B 10 H 10 ) 0. —Duchêne et al. Duchêne et al. Click to enlarge.
