Sodium-ion batteries also include a cathode and anode, just like their lithium-based contemporaries, in addition to a liquid electrolyte to house the sodium atoms. Overall, ...

Surfers are used to getting mouthfuls of saltwater.

A ccessory maker Elecom has announced what it’s claiming to be the first consumer-ready power bank that uses a sodium-ion ...

When an atom loses or gains an electron, it is called an ion. The atom that loses an electron becomes a positive ion. The atom that gains an electron becomes a negative ion. A positive and negative ...

A small piece of sodium metal is placed in a flask of chlorine gas. A little water helps expose the sodium so it can react with the chlorine gas. The reaction releases a lot of heat as the ionic ...

Elecom’s Na Plus sodium-ion power bank is safe to use in extreme temperatures and can be recharged nearly 5,000 times. A better battery is finally here. Skip to main content.

Elecom has introduced the world’s first sodium-ion mobile batteries, the DE-C55L-9000BK and DE-C55L-9000LGY, featuring a 9,000mAh capacity and prioritizing safety, longevity, and sustainability ...

CU Boulder researchers are exploring the use of sodium-ion batteries as an alternative to lithium-based energy storage. While sodium is abundant and could help address supply chain issues linked to ...

CATL’s high-voltage sodium-ion battery gets an energy density of 175 watt-hours per kilogram. That’s below the 200–300 Wh/kg range typical of lithium-ion batteries, but it’s enough to ...

The lithium-ion battery is synonymous with the green energy revolution, but the spiralling cost of lithium is driving research into high-efficiency, low-cost alternatives. Julian Turner talks to ...

A new factory shows how sodium ion will gain an increasing share of the U.S. energy storage market as developers seek to reduce global supply chain risks.

For those who came in late sodium-ion battery production uses sodium, iron, and manganese instead of expensive lithium, nickel, and cobalt. Natron Energy announced the opening of a "gigafactory ...
