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. Thus, further research is required to find better sodium host materials. The sodium salt makes up the cathode; the anode is made up of phosphorous.

Short-term transients, including those related to wind and solar sources, present challenges to the electrical grid. Stationary energy storage systems that can operate for many cycles, at high power, with high round-trip energy efficiency, and at low cost are required. Cost is a greater concern. —Yi Cui.

For example, solar-storage integrated systems require lifetimes matching solar cells (30 years), electric vehicles require a high power and capacity, and grid storage requires an extreme low cost. Inset, the decreasing overpotential with cycling. Credit: ACS, Cohn et al. Click to enlarge. —Cohn et al. 5b04187.

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. Example of a lithium-water rechargeable battery.
