Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have devised an alloying strategy that enables sodium-beta batteries to operate at significantly lower temperatures. The new electrode enables sodium-beta batteries to last longer, helps streamline their manufacturing process and reduces the risk of accidental fire.

solar and wind) with variable output to the electrical grid, grid managers require electrical energy storage systems (EES) that can accommodate large amounts of energy created at the source. Sodium-ion batteries have been discussed in the literature. The nanowires were synthesized with a polymer-pyrolysis method. Earlier post.)

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers use a solid polymer electrolyte, and alkaline electrolyzers use an electrolyte solution, such as potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide mixed with water. When any type of electrolyzer is powered by renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar or hydro, it produces “green” hydrogen.

John Goodenough, are proposing a strategy for high-capacity next-generation alkali (lithium or sodium)-ion batteries using water-soluble redox couples as the cathode. The present sodium-sulfur battery operates above 300 °C. A = lithium or sodium (Li or Na), M represents a metal and 1 ≤ n < z. —Lu et al.

With the worldwide emphasis on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, energy storage has become an essential solution for grid stability and reliability. At a certain working degree, sodium ions pass through the reversible reaction between the electrolyte diaphragm and sulfur to form the release and storage of energy.

John Goodenough, known around the world for his pioneering work that led to the invention of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery, have devised a new strategy for a safe, low-cost, all-solid-state rechargeable sodium or lithium battery cell that has the required energy density and cycle life for a battery that powers an all-electric road vehicle.
