13000 ppm of sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium ions, among others). The presence of monovalent ions, such as sodium and potassium, is not a significant issue in the conventional precipitation method since their salts are highly soluble. ppm) and an abundance of interfering ions (i.e., —Li et al.

Yissum offering novel high-performance anode for sodium-ion batteries; antimony sulphide nanoparticle-coated graphene

Green Car Congress

Sodium-ion batteries (Na-ion, NIBs) are seen as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries for large-scale applications due to their lower cost and abundant supply of sodium. We also demonstrate a battery with the stibnite–graphene composite that is free from sodium metal, having energy density up to 80? Mason, Sudip K.

Army Research Lab discovers aluminum nanomaterial rapidly splits water on contact

Green Car Congress

Researchers at the US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) have discovered that a nano-galvanic aluminum-based powder of their design splits water on contact, producing hydrogen and oxygen. The team demonstrated a small radio-controlled tank powered by the powder/water reaction. If we can recharge those batteries, they can stay out longer.

Researchers develop rechargeable hybrid-seawater fuel cell; highly energy density, stable cycling

Green Car Congress

The circulating seawater in the open-cathode system results in a continuous supply of sodium ions, endowing the system with superior cycling stability that allows the application of various alternative anodes to sodium metal by compensating for irreversible charge losses. an alloying material), in full sodium-ion configuration.

ARPA-E awarding $39M to 16 projects to grow the domestic critical minerals supply chain

Green Car Congress

E) will award $39 million in funding to 16 projects across 12 states to develop market-ready technologies that will increase domestic supplies of critical elements required for the clean energy transition. First, an electric potential will be applied to water to simultaneously produce acidity and alkalinity. Idaho National Laboratory.

Western Hydrogen produces first hydrogen from Molten Salt Gasification pilot plant

Green Car Congress

The MSG process, under license from Idaho National Laboratory, uses a combination of molten sodium salts (sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide) to convert a carbon feedstock and water into hydrogen. CO + H 2 ) at similar pressures. Advantages of combining MSG with FT include heat integration (i.e.

Rio Tinto commits $2.4B for Jadar lithium project; planning 58,000 tons/year lithium carbonate by 2029

Green Car Congress

At full production, Jadar would position Rio Tinto as the largest source of lithium supply in Europe for at least the next 15 years. It could supply enough lithium to power over one million electric vehicles per year. In addition, Jadar will produce borates, which are used in solar panels and wind turbines. Assuming a 60kWh battery.].
