Sodium Ion Batteries

Solving The Duck Curve Without Lithium-ion — Every single hour, 420 quintillion joules of energy from the sun hit the earth. That is enough raw energy to power the earth’s energy use for a whole year¹. Solar panels all over the world are turning sunlight into electricity for our everyday use and revolutionizing the renewable energy industry…

Some people who do not understand the characteristics of NMP solvent almost talk about NMP and think that NMP (N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone) has great toxicity and will affect health. So is NMP the solvent toxic or not? Today let the editor of Zesheng New Material tell you. Why are we discussing this…

Something that always seems to leave a bad taste in my mouth is this concept of what’s going to be the “Lithium Battery Killer.” Each week this assertion seems to be made by hundreds of people for novel battery chemistries that promise a list of improvements over current Lithium chemistries…

This story is contributed by Sedzro Tamakloe Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) will be a key technology to meet battery production needs due to the abundance of sodium, the low cost of the materials, and the elimination of cobalt from the cathode. Although SIBs can not match nickel-based lithium ion batteries (LIBs)…
