Sodium ion battery start-up LiNa Energy has commissioned a pilot manufacturing plant in Lancaster, England, backed by GBP 20 million ($27 million) of funding. The UK start-up, which was founded as a ...

What if the future of energy storage didn’t depend on rare, expensive, and environmentally taxing materials? Imagine a world where batteries are built from elements as common as table salt, offering a ...

Sodium-ion batteries offer multiple advantages over their lithium-ion cousins. Energy storage, however, isn't one of them. That might be set to change thanks to a new method of creating the batteries ...

Sodium-ion batteries are becoming a key focus for the European Union (EU), and the next EU budget must provide funding for the sector, according to European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) ...

An E10X sodium-ion-powered microcar in yellow. E10X, a microcar made by the Chinese firm JAC Yiwei, a joint venture between JAC and Volkswagen, is one of the first mass-produced vehicles to be powered ...

The issue is that data center power must be supplied stably 24 hours a day without interruption, even for a single second. This is why battery technology for energy storage systems (ESS) is cited as a ...

Sodium-ion batteries may be the answer to the future of sustainable energy storage and could be used to make drinking water out of seawater. Scientists at the University of Surrey have discovered a ...

The Chinese startup has begun mass-producing two types of sodium-ion batteries and plans to launch a third this month. HiNa Battery Technology is a trailblazer in developing and mass-producing ...

What if the cost of powering an electric vehicle or storing renewable energy dropped by a staggering 90%? That’s the bold promise CATL, the world’s largest battery manufacturer, is making with its new ...

A surprising breakthrough could help sodium-ion batteries rival lithium—and even turn seawater into drinking water. Scientists discovered that keeping water inside a key battery material, instead of ...

The takeaway: For decades, battery engineers have gone to great lengths to remove water from their materials. However, new research shows that keeping water inside a key cathode material can sharply ...
