Ningbo researchers propose mixed-ion Li/Na batteries

Green Car Congress

Lithium-intercalation compounds and sodium-intercalation compounds are used for anode and cathode, respectively. During charging (or discharging), the storage (or release) of Li + takes place at anode, and the release (or storage) of Na + occurs at cathode. Second, this electrochemical method is green and energy efficient.

Energy Harvesting for Wearable Technology Steps Up

Cars That Think

Not least of those considerations is energy storage [and generation].” A little device that harvests energy from a runner’s evening jog clearly is not designed for a massive bison, which can weigh up to a tonne. The group fabricated their device using CFRP, sodium potassium niobate (KNN) nanoparticles, and epoxy resin.
