RAL researchers are proposing a new process for the decomposition of ammonia to release hydrogen that involves the stoichiometric decomposition and formation of sodium amide from Na metal. To date, very few candidates show potential beyond that of the seminal work on titanium-doped sodium alanate. Credit: ACS, David et al.

The solid-state battery, which promises to provide higher energy density, quicker charging, and increased safety, is anticipated to make significant progress towards mass production in 2024. The batteries that use sodium instead of the pricey and rare lithium are the ones that are the closest to being on the market.
