New high energy, highly stable cathode for sodium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers in South Korea have developed a novel high-energy cathode material, Na 1.5 F 0.7 , for sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries (NIBs). The abundance and low cost of Na in the earth will become advantageous when a large amount of material is demanded for renewable energy solutions. Ragone plot for the new Na 1.5

Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?

Cars That Think

The battery in her EV is a variation on the flow battery , a design in which spent electrolyte is replaced rather than recharged. The scientists found the nanofluids could be used in a system with an energy-storing potential approaching that of a lithium-ion battery and with the pumpable recharging of a flow battery.
