For decades, lithium-ion batteries have powered our phones, laptops, and electric vehicles. But lithium’s limited supply and ...

Leaving water inside a sodium battery material boosts performance and enables desalination. Sodium-ion batteries could play a ...

By 2050, sodium-ion batteries with fast learning rates could deliver storage at 11–14 €/MWh – cheaper than lithium-ion at 16–22 €/MWh – while also offering higher energy-to-power ratios and high cycle ...

A new generation of sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery cells has been launched as an alternative to the virtual monopoly of lithium-ion (Li-ion). Although the technology is unlikely to displace significant ...

The extent to which renewables should dominate Australia’s energy grids is a major issue in science and politics. Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity. But limits to these ...

The popularity of electric vehicles is increasing rapidly, and this is causing competition in the market to heat up. Some of this competition is evident in the prices and models that are being ...

Researchers and scientists began work on sodium-ion battery development as early as the late 1970s to the early 1980s, and continued to progress throughout the eighties. However, lithium-ion batteries ...

The electric vehicle (EV) industry ended 2025 with a major shift. Sodium-ion batteries, long viewed as a secondary technology ...

China's largest battery maker, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), claims it has unlocked unprecedented extreme weather performance with its sodium-ion batteries. Speaking at the ...

Scientists discovered that keeping water in sodium vanadate hydrate doubles a sodium battery’s charge capacity and stability. The same technology can also remove salt from seawater, creating potential ...
