A Sodium Ion Battery Boost Found
February 26, 2019 | Leave a Comment
Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Nagoya Institute of Technology scientists have found the desirable component for sodium-ion batteries (SIB), which could contribute to boost SIB performance such as speed of charge. While lithium-ion batteries are currently popular, it is expected that a new storage chemistry will be found soon, because lithium is not only expensive but limited in supply. […]

A Sodium Ion Battery That May Compete With Lithium Ion
February 16, 2017 | 1 Comment
Georgia Institute of Technology scientists have developed an anode material that enables sodium-ion batteries to perform at high capacity over hundreds of cycles. Lithium-ion batteries have become essential in everyday technology. But these power sources can explode under certain circumstances and are not ideal for grid-scale energy storage. Sodium-ion batteries are potentially a safer and […]

Sodium Ion Battery Technology Takes A New Leap Forward
January 30, 2014 | Leave a Comment
Gurpreet Singh, assistant professor of mechanical and nuclear engineering at Kansas State University and his student researchers are the first to demonstrate that a composite ‘paper’ made of interleaved molybdenum disulfide and graphene nanosheets can be both an active material to efficiently store sodium atoms and a flexible current collector. The idea is a new […]

Using Wood For a Battery Component
June 20, 2013 | 3 Comments
Taking inspiration from trees, scientists have developed a sliver of wood coated with tin that shows promise for becoming a tiny, long-lasting, efficient and environmentally friendly battery. The report on the device, some 1,000 times thinner than a sheet of paper, has been published in the journal Nano Letters. A team at the University of […]
