Empa, UNIGE team develop prototype solid-state sodium battery; focus on improving the solid-solid interface

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Empa and the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have developed a prototype of a novel solid-state sodium battery with the potential to store extra energy and with improved safety. Rechargeable all-solid-state batteries promise higher energy density and improved operational safety. B 10 H 10 ) 0. —DuchĂȘne et al.

KAUST uses laser pulses to boost performance of MXene electrode

Green Car Congress

With the nanodots in place, the material had a four-fold higher electrical storage capacity than the original MXene and almost reached the theoretical maximum capacity of graphite. This could help to develop a new generation of rechargeable batteries that use cheaper and more abundant metals than lithium, for example.
