New Solid Electrolyte Developed For Sodium Batteries

March 3, 2022 | Leave a Comment

Université de Genève researchers have developed a new material that improves the performance of solid-state sodium batteries. Sodium chemistry is a less dangerous and a more durable alternative to lithium. The future of battery technologies could lie in sodium. Sodium chemistry could be more sustainable than lithium, which currently powers most of our devices and […]

Lithium & Sodium Batteries Improved with Graphene Oxide

December 30, 2014 | Leave a Comment

A Kansas State University (KSU) engineering team has discovered some of graphene oxide’s important properties that can improve sodium and lithium-ion flexible batteries. The KSU team is the first to show that a flexible paper composed entirely of graphene oxide sheets can charge and discharge with sodium-ions for more than 1,000 cycles. Sodium perchlorate salt […]
