Lithium-ion battery prices have dropped nearly 90% since 2008, the year that Tesla released its first electric car. Since batteries are the most expensive part of an EV, that’s a big part of the ...

Sodium-ion batteries may be the answer to the future of sustainable energy storage and could be used to make drinking water ...

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 Chinese startup has begun mass-producing two types of sodium-ion batteries and plans to launch a third this month.

These days, batteries are found in just about every electronic device you could imagine. From phones to lawn mowers to cars, the items that make life in the modern world happen to do so with a battery ...

Researchers have developed a new type of material that could make sodium batteries more efficient. Developed by an international team of interdisciplinary researchers, including the Canepa Research ...

We've long relied on lithium-ion batteries for long-term energy storage, but they can be expensive to produce and maintain over the years. California-based startup Inlyte wants to offer a scalable ...

CATL revealed the world's first mass-produced sodium-ion batteries in China ahead of the Shanghai Auto Show. The low-voltage and high-voltage sodium-ion batteries deliver exceptional cold-weather ...

Some Chinese EVs already use sodium-ion batteries. Now they're hoping to unlock new levels of extreme weather performance. CATL's second-generation sodium-ion cells can reportedly discharge normally ...

Japanese hardware brand Elecom has just launched what it claims is the world's first power bank to feature a sodium-ion battery inside. It promises significantly longer cycle life than traditional ...

A rechargeable battery technology that offers advantages over lithium-ion. Sodium-ion batteries can be significantly less expensive because sodium (salt) is much more abundant and cheaper to extract ...

Sodium layered oxide-based cathodes of sodium-ion batteries commonly suffer from structural degradation. Here, authors propose entropy regulation with zero Li/Co usage to suppress lattice strain, ...
