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 ...

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, ...

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

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 ...

While this is the first sodium-ion power bank out there, its 45-W charging speed is fairly common, and it's heavier than cheaper lithium-ion ones you can get right now Elecom View gallery - 3 images ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
