EV Guru: Sodium-Ion Batteries are Coming Sooner Than You think!

Plug In India

In India, OLA Electric and Tata group have plans to make cells at a large scale. Video: EV Guru: Sodium-Ion Batteries are Coming Sooner Than You think! The mining industry cannot keep up with the demand, so the alternative is to manufacture batteries based on sodium chemistry. Sodium is bigger and heavier than lithium cell.

ANL team develops new class of Li- and Na- rechargeable batteries based on selenium and selenium-sulfur; greater volumetric energy densities than sulfur-based batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have developed selenium and selenium–sulfur (Se x S y )-based cathode materials for a new class of room-temperature lithium and sodium batteries. systems suffer from cycling performance issues that impede their commercial applications: Li/O 2.

Berkeley Lab leading investigation to quantify and characterize Salton Sea’s geothermal lithium resources

Green Car Congress

There are currently 11 commercial plants at the Salton Sea field producing geothermal energy, a process in which hot fluids are pumped up from deep underground and the heat is then converted to electricity. Pat and his group will put that in a database. Earlier post.). Credit: Jenny Nuss/Berkeley Lab). With nearly $1.2

OSU team demonstrates concept of potassium-air battery as alternative to lithium-air systems

Green Car Congress

V), which contributes to the low rechargeability. contrast with LiO 2 and NaO 2 , KO 2 is thermodynamically stable and commercially available. Potassium, an alkali metal similar to lithium (and sodium) can be used in a rechargeable battery. V), which renders the system with a low round-trip energy efficiency around 60%.

European automotive and automotive battery industries call for extension of the exemption of lead-based batteries from the EU ELV Directive

Green Car Congress

The comments are part of the formal submission made by the industry group to EU regulators who concluded the public consultation phase of the review of the End of Life Vehicle (ELV) Directive this week. This electrical system is in all cases supplied by a 12V lead-based battery, the groups said.
