A team led by researchers from the University of Alberta (Canada) Scientists has developed a hybrid sodium-ion capacitor (NIC) using active materials in both the anode and the cathode derived entirely from peanut shells—a green and highly economical waste globally generated at more than 6 million tons per year. doi: 10.1039/C4EE02986K.

This coating contains the active components that are responsible for storing energy. Removing toxic solvents and long, energy-intensive drying machines from the process benefits the environment. It could equally be used on lithium-ion cells as on lithium-sulfur or sodium-ion cells. We are even looking at solid-state batteries.

John Goodenough, known around the world for his pioneering work that led to the invention of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, have devised a new strategy for a safe, low-cost, all-solid-state rechargeable sodium or lithium battery cell that has the required energy density and cycle life for a battery that powers an all-electric road vehicle.

BroadBit uses it to produce new types of sodium-ion batteries. First, they mix the active materials, intended later to release the stored energy, with additives to create a paste. In order to protect operators and the environment, elaborate precautions for occupational safety and reprocessing are necessary.

With regard to overall storage capability and potential for further fuel efficiency improvements, the demand for larger battery systems based on lithium, nickel and sodium will continue to grow through the increased market penetration of vehicles with higher levels of hybridization and electrification. Sodium-nickel chloride batteries.

For capacitors, voltage translates to electrons stored —the voltage drop across a capacitor is proportional to its total charge.) Solar won’t work for nocturnal animals or creatures in low-light environments. The group fabricated their device using CFRP, sodium potassium niobate (KNN) nanoparticles, and epoxy resin.

Using a new metric—“Energy Stored on Invested, ESOI”—they concluded that batteries were the worst performers, while compressed air energy storage (CAES) performed the best, followed by pumped hydro storage (PHS). When demand is high, the water is released through turbines that generate electricity. —Charles Barnhart.
