Birnessite What Is And What It Could Mean For Batteries

August 3, 2021 | Leave a Comment

North Carolina State University scientists are researching birnessite. Birnessite is a hydrated layered form of manganese oxide that can quickly store and release a variety of positive ions from electrolytes for many cycles. This makes it promising for use in high-power electrochemical energy storage, or in emerging electrochemical technologies such as desalination and rare element […]

French Package a Sodium Battery to Replace Lithium

December 2, 2015 | Leave a Comment

A French team has announced a design and chemistry alternative technology to Lithium-ion for application in specific sectors. The researchers have developed the first battery using sodium ions in the usual “18650” format, an industry standard. The main advantage of the prototype is that it relies on sodium, an element far more abundant and less […]
