of weight a rider carries, an additional 700 watt-hours of energy is available (compared to ~350 watt-hours for an ultra-high performance lithium-polymer battery at a weight of 7 lbs.). A key innovation is the use of sodium silicide to liberate hydrogen from water as needed by the hybrid fuel cell. For every 1.5 Earlier post.)

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. This area currently has three areas of focus: Intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells; Polymer electrolyte fuel cells; and. Rechargeable metal-air batteries.
