Solid-state sodium-ion batteries are safer than conventional lithium-ion batteries, which pose a risk of fire and explosions, but their performance has been too weak to offset the safety advantages. Yao also is a principal investigator at the Texas Center for Superconductivity at UH. —Yan Yao. 2019.03.017.

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.

But the promise is worth pursuing, says MIT Professor Yet-Ming Chiang, because the amount of energy that can be stored in experimental versions of such cells is already nearly double that of conventional lithium-ion batteries. The team solved the dendrite problem by adopting a compromise between solid and liquid states. Eschler, C.M.,

Improved energy storage technologies will allow for expanded integration of renewable energy resources like wind and photovoltaic systems and will improve frequency regulation and peak energy management. This project will develop and implement an Energy Internet microgrid, located in a large mixed-use infill development site in Austin, Texas.
