An American study recently disclosed that we may eventually have an anode-free sodium-metal cell. Published by Nature last July 3, the research gave us the perspective of using a cheaper and much more ...

U.S. scientists used density functional theory to reveal how sodium ions are stored in nanoporous carbon anodes for ...

Sodium layered oxide-based cathodes of sodium-ion batteries commonly suffer from structural degradation. Here, authors propose entropy regulation with zero Li/Co usage to suppress lattice strain, ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers have developed a new type of material that could make sodium batteries more efficient. Developed by an international ...

Fuel cells that react liquid sodium metal with air could be the power source required to give electric airplanes much longer ranges, a new paper has proposed. The idea has yet to leave the laboratory ...

Researchers and scientists began work on sodium-ion battery development as early as the late 1970s to the early 1980s, and continued to progress throughout the eighties. However, lithium-ion batteries ...

A new sodium-based battery material is highly stable, capable of recharging as quickly as a lithium-ion battery and might deliver more energy than current battery technologies. Scientists at the ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

Schematic illustration of the failure mechanisms of quasi Na-NASICON solid-state batteries. A team of researchers from Beijing Institute of Technology have advanced the field by systematically ...

Zero-emissions air travel may be one step closer after scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology unveiled a new type of sodium fuel cell that could one day make electric-powered flight ...
