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

Plug In India

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. The big issue with sodium-ion batteries is that they can store only about two-thirds of the energy of Li-ion batteries of equivalent size.

Univ. of Texas researchers propose lithium- or sodium-water batteries as next generation of high-capacity battery technology; applicable for EVs and grid storage

Green Car Congress

Example of a lithium-water rechargeable battery. Researchers at the University of Texas, including Dr. John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. The present sodium-sulfur battery operates above 300 °C.

Energy Harvesting for Wearable Technology Steps Up

Cars That Think

And today, technology is maturing to the point that meaningful amounts of these energy giveaways can be harvested to liberate wearables from ever needing a battery. Much talk of wearable technology focuses on health or other human needs. Fortunately, though, at wearables’ modest power budgets, energy is effectively everywhere.

PATHION develops new LiRAP-based solid-state electrolytes for Li-sulfur and sodium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

PATHION is working on a derivative for Li-sulfur batteries as well as a derivative that could be applied in a sodium-ion battery. Such a lithium sulfur battery could achieve specific energy levels up to 800 Wh/kg, compared to about 250 Wh/kg from the best commercial Li-ion cells today. Lithium sulfur.
