Researchers at Empa and the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have developed a prototype of a novel solid-state sodium battery with the potential to store extra energy and with improved safety. Rechargeable all-solid-state batteries promise higher energy density and improved operational safety. B 10 H 10 ) 0. —Duchêne et al.

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.)

F 0.7 , for sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries (NIBs). While high-energy Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are expected to contribute in part to the solution, the high cost and low stability prohibit wide application in this area, the researchers observe. Ragone plot for the new Na 1.5 cathode and other cathode materials for NIBs. Click to enlarge.

Video: EV Guru: Sodium-Ion Batteries are Coming Sooner Than You think! The mining industry cannot keep up with the demand, so the alternative is to manufacture batteries based on sodium chemistry. The big issue with sodium-ion batteries is that they can store only about two-thirds of the energy of Li-ion batteries of equivalent size.

Batteries based on this system allow the use of various anode materials, such as lithium and sodium, without the requirement to develop new cathode intercalation materials. A part of this work was supported by “Nanotechnology Platform” (Project 12024046) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), Japan.
