Schematic illustration of the designed hybrid-seawater fuel cell and a schematic diagram at the charged–discharged state. As described in an open access paper in the journal NPG Asia Materials , the system is an intermediate between a battery and a fuel cell, and is accordingly referred to as a hybrid fuel cell.

British battery R&D company Faradion has demonstrated a proof-of-concept electric bike powered by sodium-ion batteries at the headquarters of Williams Advanced Engineering, which collaborated in the development of the bike. Sodium-ion intercalation batteries—i.e., Oxford University was also a partner. Earlier post.)

Prototype sodium silicate hydrogen generation system as presented earlier this year at DOE merit review. The H300 utilizes real-time swappable cartridges that generate hydrogen on demand using SiGNa’s proprietary sodium silicide (NaSi) powder. Sodium-Silica-Gel: 2Na-SG + H 2 O → H 2 + Na 2 Si 2 O 5.

A team of researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory has synthesized amorphous titanium dioxide nanotube (TiO 2 NT) electrodes directly grown on current collectors without binders and additives to use as an anode for sodium-ion batteries. V vs Li/Li + ) with comparable capacities to the dominant graphite anodes.

Example of a lithium-water rechargeable battery. Researchers at the University of Texas, including Dr. John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. The present sodium-sulfur battery operates above 300 °C.

A laser-induced Mo 2 CT x /Mo 2 C (LS-Mo 2 CT x ) hybrid anode has been developed, of which the Mo 2 C nanodots boost redox kinetics, and the laser-reduced oxygen content prevents the structural degradation caused by oxidation. Unlike graphite, MXenes can also intercalate sodium and potassium ions, notes Alshareef. —Bayhan et al.
