As grid operators search for reliable alternatives to lithium-ion technology, iron-sodium batteries are gaining momentum as a viable option for large-scale energy storage. Built on abundant and ...

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 high school friend once related the story about how his father, a chemist for an environmental waste concern, disposed of a problematic quantity of metallic sodium by dumping it into one of the more ...

Researchers in South Korea have successfully demonstrated the use of free ambient air as a fuel leveraging a sodium-based solid electrolyte to tackle the carbonate issue that has been holding back the ...

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 ...

Lithium-based batteries are great, with different electrode chemistries allowing them to be slotted into a variety of uses. The problem with them has nothing to do with their performance. The ...

Sodium metal is soft, white and highly reactive. It's number 11 on the atomic chart, in group one, meaning it has one electron in its outer shell and its super easy to detonate. That quality becomes ...
