New Na-ion battery combining intercalation and conversion could be promising low-cost energy storage system

Green Car Congress

The reported performance of the new Na-ion battery suggests that the sodium-ion system is a potentially promising power source for promoting the substantial use of low-cost energy storage systems in the near future, the team concluded. In addition, the battery is based on sodium, an abundant, hence low cost, material.

ORNL team develops 3D interconnected polymer/ceramic composite as a thin film solid electrolyte

Green Car Congress

Solid polymer electrolytes offer the advantages of flexibility, low-cost processing, and good adhesion to the electrodes, but they typically have low room-temperature ionic conductivity and not sufficient mechanical modulus to stop dendrite growth. The structure increased conductivity through the ceramic base. Dixit, Andrew S.

Low-cost N-doped interlayer derived from loofah sponge enables high-performance Li-S, Li-Se and LiI2 batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers from Griffith University in Australia and Peking University in China have synthesized low-cost, hierarchically porous, and nitrogen-doped loofah sponge carbon (N-LSC) derived from the loofah sponge via a simple calcining process and applied it as a multifunctional blocking layer for Li–S, Li–Se, and Li–I 2 batteries.
