A surprising breakthrough could help sodium-ion batteries rival lithium—and even turn seawater into drinking water. Scientists discovered that keeping water inside a key battery material, instead of ...

Sodium-ion batteries may be the answer to the future of sustainable energy storage and could be used to make drinking water out of seawater. Scientists at the University of Surrey have discovered a ...

Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a compelling alternative to lithium-ion, offering a unique blend of material abundance, system compatibility, and enhanced safety. As the energy storage market ...

These days, batteries are found in just about every electronic device you could imagine. From phones to lawn mowers to cars, the items that make life in the modern world happen to do so with a battery ...

While lithium ion battery prices are falling again, interest in sodium ion (Na-ion) energy storage has not waned. With a global ramp-up of cell manufacturing capacity under way, it remains unclear ...

The electric vehicle (EV) market may be about to explode with some really cool news. Now, off the cuff, that sounds like a very broad statement to make. However, a series of breakthroughs by Chinese ...

Sodium-ion batteries offer multiple advantages over their lithium-ion cousins. Energy storage, however, isn't one of them. That might be set to change thanks to a new method of creating the batteries ...

Why it matters: Battery technology is one of those areas that is getting a lot of promising research results but very little in the form of commercial products we can use to power digital devices, ...

Scientists have developed a fuel cell system which they say could ultimately have enough energy capacity to power regional electric aircraft. They state that the technology is capable of carrying over ...

Cars that burn petrol and diesel must be replaced with renewable alternatives if the climate crisis is to be overcome. Electric vehicles (EVs) are widely viewed as the best option available. This is ...
