Scientists have developed a new sodium metal anode for rechargeable batteries that resists the formation of dendrites, a common problem with standard sodium metal anodes that can lead to shorting and ...

Anode-free sodium metal batteries (AFSMBs) are promising next-generation energy storage systems due to their high energy density and low cost. Unlike traditional designs that include a hard carbon or ...

Fuel cells powered with the metal could provide a new source of electric power that's far more energy-dense than lithium-ion batteries. A new type of fuel cell that runs on sodium metal could one day ...
