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. The rise of renewable solar and wind power is demanding sustainable storage technologies using components that are inexpensive, Earth-abundant and environmental friendly.

A team of biologists built a custom Kinefox GPS tracker that wildlife—including this European bison test subject—can recharge simply by moving around as usual. In work published in PLoS One in May, they detailed the Kinefox, a GPS tracker that wildlife can recharge simply by moving. In the future, DIY may not even be necessary.

Especially for sources like wind and solar, which have discontinuous availability. While rechargeable batteries are the solution of choice for consumer-level use, they are impractical for grid-scale consideration. However, in the PNNL team’s demonstration, the freeze–thaw mechanism of the molten salt is able to circumvent that problem.

Tin (Sn) shows promise as a robust electrode material for rechargeable sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries, according to a new study by a team from the University of Pittsburgh and Sandia National Laboratory. Rechargeable Na-ion batteries work on the same basic principle as Li-ion batteries—i.e., for the positive electrode.

Robert Privette: Rechargeable batteries are among the building blocks for the green energy transition. This is the case at our gigafactory in Europe, which relies on wind energy, and it’s also what we plan for our soon-to-come plant in Canada. Charged spoke with Robert Privette, Umicore’s Business Development Manager for North America.
