Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have developed a nanometric graphite-like anode for sodium ion (Na + storage), formed by stacked graphene sheets functionalized only on one side, termed Janus graphene. The estimated sodium storage up to C 6.9 Na is comparable to graphite for standard lithium ion batteries.
Schematic of a sodium-nickel chloride cell with planar design. A planar (flat) sodium-nickel chloride battery could deliver 30% more power at lower temperatures than the typical cylindrical design, according to researchers at the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

Researchers at Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany, have improved the performance of sodium-ion batteries ( earlier post ) by using tailor-made carbon materials with hierarchical porosity for the anode instead of common carbon-based anode materials. 1 at C/5 while exhibiting excellent rate capability and reasonable cycle life.
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. Sodium can serve as an alternative to lithium in rechargeable batteries as the reversible storage mechanisms for sodium ions are very similar (e.g.,
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. These materials have been found to allow topotactic [transformation within a crystal lattice] and reversible extraction/insertion of oxygen atoms. —Hibino et al.
The researchers present these results in the journal Nature Reviews Materials as part of a cost and resource analysis of sodium-ion batteries. … a | The total numbers of reference devices that are estimated to be produced in the scenario between 2016 and 2050, together with the range in battery size for each type of reference device.
Researchers at Wuhan University (China) have synthesized a Sb/C (antimony/carbon) nanocomposite for use as an anode material in a room-temperature sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery. A sodium disk served as the counter and reference electrode. Source: Yang et al. Click to enlarge.
A team from the University of Wollongong (Australia) and the University of Technology, Sydney reported the successful synthesis by a simple hydrothermal approach of high-capacity WS 2 (tungsten disulfide)@graphene nanocomposite anodes for sodium-ion batteries. Their paper is published in the RSC journal Chemical Communications.
While used nuclear fuel, sometimes referred to as spent nuclear fuel, is created during the process of generating nuclear energy, clean energy generated from this fuel would be enough to power more than 70 million homes. Nuclear energy generates nearly a fifth of US electricity and accounts for half of all domestic clean energy generation.
The sodium alanate material used to store the hydrogen resides within the tubes. Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have successfully designed and demonstrated key features of a hydrogen storage system that utilizes a complex metal hydride material—sodium alanate.

It is a key milestone in the deployment of our strategic roadmap which aims at positioning Eramet as a reference player in metals for the energy transition. Purification of the lithium, then reaction with sodium carbonate to convert it to lithium carbonate. Fresh water is then used to release the stored lithium.
mobilis to date and will likely serve as useful reference data for future systems biology studies. mobilis nhaA overexpression confers the AcR tolerance phenotype and that most of the advantage conferred is against the sodium ion, our data reinforce the idea that one obtains what one selects for during adaptive evolution experiments.
published in the ACS journal Chemical Reviews , reviews in detail four stationary storage systems considered the most promising candidates for electrochemical energy storage: vanadium redox flow; sodium-beta alumina membrane; lithium-ion; and lead-carbon batteries. Sodium-beta alumina membrane battery. In their study, Yang et al.
tall), sealed and self-contained, simple-to-operate nuclear power reactor, euphemistically referred to by the company as a “fission battery”. Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor. The HPM is a compact (approx. Over its 7-10 year operational life, the HPM will deliver 70 MW of thermal energy, or approximately 25 MWe. Global Energy Module (GEM50).
The process produces a toxic byproduct referred to as black liquor—a primarily liquid mixture of pulping residues (such as lignin and hemicellulose) and inorganic chemicals from the Kraft process (sodium hydroxide and sodium sulfide, for example). The kraft process converts wood into wood pulp for paper production.
Lithium-intercalation compounds and sodium-intercalation compounds are used for anode and cathode, respectively. Sodium-ion based rechargeable batteries (SIBs, e.g., earlier post ) are of interest due to sodium’s abundance, far lower prices, and a greener synthesis while maintaining a similarity in ion-insertion chemistry.
The measure of how many years of healthy life are lost is often referred to as “disability-adjusted life years.”). They also estimated that 8.2 million years of healthy life were lost in 2016 due to pollution-linked diabetes, representing about 14% of all years of healthy life lost due to diabetes from any cause.
Chemical energy storage mainly includes lead-acid batteries, nickel batteries, lithium batteries, liquid flow batteries, and sodium-sulfur batteries, and electromagnetic energy storage mainly includes supercapacitor energy storage and superconducting energy storage. What is a battery?
However, it also possible to separate and manipulate a few connected layers of graphene giving a material researchers refer to as few-layer graphene (FLG). Graphene is a single, one-atom-thick layer of the mineral graphite (an allotrope of carbon). A cross section of the silicon and FLG together in an anode.
The shelf-life of stored charge in rechargeable devices does not scale linearly with maximum SP and has led to trends referred to as ‘range-anxiety’, ‘compulsive charging’, etc. Contemporary battery materials impose a finite limit on GED/SP due to thermal and mechanical failure modes of battery electrodes and membrane separators.
A Reference Phenotyping System for Energy Sorghum The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, along with its research partners, will coordinate a national network of test sites in AZ, KS, MO, SC and TX, to provide broad environmental and genetic diversity essential for understanding phenotype behavior. Donald Danforth Plant Science Center.
These packs use ZERO Cobalt and ZERO Nickel [3] The petrol heads are not in a position to take any sort of moral high ground on the Cobalt issue. We don't see these so-called auto journalists talk about the atrocities committed by the OIL industry.
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. References Diamond Mine shown as Lithium Mines!
Battery: The battery is suitable for pure electric vehicles, including lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries, secondary lithium batteries, air batteries, and ternary lithium batteries. (1) 1) Lead-acid battery: Lead-acid battery has a history of more than 100 years.
Most manufacturers provide battery warranties lasting seven or eight years, assuring consumers that EV batteries are expected to last. In recent years, alternative battery technologies, such as sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries, have emerged as potentially transformative.
Gadkari also stated that 100 % lithium-ion batteries, which are a critical component in electric vehicles, will be manufactured in India, while the government also conducts research on other readily available materials for batteries such as aluminium ion, sodium ion, steel ion, and zinc ion.
