Researchers in South Korea have successfully demonstrated the use of free ambient air as a fuel leveraging a sodium-based solid electrolyte to tackle the carbonate issue that has been holding back the ...

A team of researchers from Deakin University’s Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM) have used computer modeling and simulations to progress the design of a new type of solid-state polymer ...

Solid-state sodium batteries use sodium, a more abundant and accessible resource compared to lithium. Sodium is primarily derived from sodium chloride, which is abundant in seawater and readily ...

Researchers have developed a mass synthesis process for sodium-containing sulfides. Mass synthesis of electrolytes with high conductivity and formability is key to the practical use of all-solid-state ...

Scientists at the University of Houston are confident of overcoming one of the biggest problems preventing solid-state batteries from becoming widespread. Their homogeneous glassy electrolyte paves ...

Researchers in Canada have just unveiled a new solid-state sodium battery design that could potentially lead to cheaper, safer, and more sustainable energy storage systems. Developed at Western ...

In a demonstration that defies basic assumptions in physics, researchers have created liquid sodium at room temperature. As a member of the alkali metals—the first column in the periodic table—sodium ...

We rely on batteries now more than ever, from our phones and laptops to electric vehicles. But the ones powering today's technologies aren't without their shortcomings. They can be expensive, ...

Lithium-ion batteries are the standard power source for electronics. But lithium is neither cheap nor plentiful, making Li-ion batteries impractical for larger applications, such as storing wind and ...

Students will be able to explain that mixing substances can cause a chemical reaction that results in the formation of a new substance. Students will be able to plan and carry out an investigation to ...
