F 0.7 , for sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries (NIBs). Large-scale energy storage systems are needed to deal with intermittent electricity production of solar and wind. V vs standard hydrogen electrode) reduces the operating voltage, leading to a generally lower energy density. Ragone plot for the new Na 1.5 Credit: ACS, Park et al.
Cummins has been awarded $5 million from the US Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office for the automation of solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) and stack assembly. This project furthers the company’s efforts as a leader in alternative power and a pioneer in green hydrogen technologies.
Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies will introduce a “personal hydrogen station”—HydroFill—at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week. The device consumes 60W DC per hour to produce 10 liters of hydrogen (0.001 kg) per hour, enough to fill a HydroStik metal hydride storage cartridge.
The nanosized crystalline primary particles and high surface areas enable an increased rate of photocatalytic hydrogen production from water and extended working life. They then treat the material with a sodium potassium alloy. Micrograph of mesoporous silicon with sodium chloride and potassium chloride salts embedded in the matrix.
Cyclonatix, Inc is developing an industrial-sized motor/controller to operate with either DC or AC power sources, for applications in electric vehicles, solar-powered pumps, HVAC&R, gas compressors, and other commercial and industrial machines which require high efficiency, variable speed/torque, and low cost. Leap Photovoltaics Inc.
Scientists have demonstrated that modifying the topmost layer of atoms on the surface of electrodes can have a remarkable impact on the activity of solar water splitting. This photocurrent drives the chemical reactions that split water into oxygen and hydrogen. —Mingzhao Liu.
Providing a possible new route to hydrogen-gas production, researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have devised a new manganese-based thermochemical cycle with a highest operating temperature of 850?°C recovery of Mn 3 O 4 by thermally reducing the sodium ion extracted solid produced in step 3 at 850 °C.

The researchers present these results in the journal Nature Reviews Materials as part of a cost and resource analysis of sodium-ion batteries. … The Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) and the Justus-Liebig University Gießen are also involved in these efforts. —Vaalma et al. Resources.
Photovoltaic Solar Energy. Solar photovoltaic (PV) devices harvest and convert sunlight directly to electricity. Advanced systems such as lithium-air, sodium-ion, as well as lithium-ion with new cathode chemistries are appropriate. Advanced Batteries for Transportation.
CELEST pools the know-how of 29 institutes of its partners: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Ulm University, and the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW). The Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) and Gießen University are also partners of this proposal.
The US Department of Energy (DOE) Hydrogen Program has issued a Request for Information (RFI) on potential early markets and deployment opportunities for hydrogen and fuel cells. DOE is seeking to facilitate the market penetration of hydrogen and fuel cell products through higher volume purchases (e.g., Market development RFI.
However, lithium is sourced almost exclusively from other countries, either concentrated using a solar evaporation process from natural brine sources or recovered from ore. The technique is very sensitive to hydrogen atoms, making it ideal for studying water.
Scott Elrod, VP and Director of PARC’s Hardware Systems Laboratory (HSL) research organization also directs the Cleantech Innovation Program at PARC, which develops solutions for delivering affordable solar energy, increasing solar cell efficiency, purifying water, managing energy utilization, and producing renewable fuels.

With the worldwide emphasis on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, energy storage has become an essential solution for grid stability and reliability. At a certain working degree, sodium ions pass through the reversible reaction between the electrolyte diaphragm and sulfur to form the release and storage of energy.
We are transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and the use of energy storage is becoming more widespread. Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. So what exactly is energy storage? This article will answer your confusion.
9,10,11,12] LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) and Sodium-Ion battery packs will not use Cobalt and Nickel. So Indian battery cell manufacturers can easily procure Iron, Phosphate, Silicon and Sodium from the Indian Mining industry or from recycling centers. In LFP packs, Iron, Lithium and Phosphate is used in the Cathode of the cell.
At the depot, the spent fuel could be recharged with electricity from any source—solar, wind, hydroelectric, nuclear, or fossil fuels. Then there are the new battery chemistries that are not lithium based—for instance, sodium-ion and graphene-based batteries. The recharging could also be done at a service station or in the EV itself.
Originally targeting three industries, the scheme was later expanded to include 14 sectors including automobiles, auto components, electronic products, solar PV modules, advanced chemistry cell (ACC) battery among others. It aims to promote import substitution besides generating employment opportunities.

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. Because solar and wind energy are intermittent, producing energy only when the sun shines or the wind blows, a method to capture and store energy for later use is needed.
The electric car features three different battery options, two different Lithium-based (LI) systems – A123Systems and Enerdel as well as a Sodium-Nickel battery Zebra (Mes-Dea). There are choices for 110 volt versus 220 volt, slow versus quick charges, and solar options. safety requirements.
