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). —can function as an excellent cathode for rechargeable sodium-ion batteries with a high energy density. Ragone plot for the new Na 1.5 cathode and other cathode materials for NIBs.

New Na-ion battery combining intercalation and conversion could be promising low-cost energy storage system

Green Car Congress

Scheme of the new full sodium-ion battery, which combines an intercalation cathode and a conversion anode. The reported performance of the new Na-ion battery suggests that the sodium-ion system is a potentially promising power source for promoting the substantial use of low-cost energy storage systems in the near future, the team concluded.
