British battery R&D company Faradion has demonstrated a proof-of-concept electric bike powered by sodium-ion batteries at the headquarters of Williams Advanced Engineering, which collaborated in the development of the bike. Sodium-ion intercalation batteries—i.e., Oxford University was also a partner. Earlier post.)

Tin (Sn) shows promise as a robust electrode material for rechargeable sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries, according to a new study by a team from the University of Pittsburgh and Sandia National Laboratory. Rechargeable Na-ion batteries work on the same basic principle as Li-ion batteries—i.e., —Wang et al.

Cycling performance of Li/SeS 2 ?C, 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. Unlike the widely studied Li/S system, both Se and Se x S y can be cycled to high voltages (up to 4.6

Researchers from Nanyang Technical University (NTU) in Singapore have shown high-capacity, high-rate, and durable lithium- and sodium-ion battery (LIB and NIB) performance using single-crystalline long-range-ordered bilayered VO 2 nanoarray electrodes. This is important in boosting the high-rate performance in both Li and Na ion storage.
