Fuel cells that react liquid sodium metal with air could be the power source required to give electric airplanes much longer ranges, a new paper has proposed. The idea has yet to leave the laboratory ...

Fuel cells powered with the metal could provide a new source of electric power that's far more energy-dense than lithium-ion batteries. A new type of fuel cell that runs on sodium metal could one day ...

It’s not every day that a 50-year-old technology that was long since passed over gets a new lease on life. Sodium-metal-halide batteries were first patented in the mid-1970s. The design showed promise ...

An American study recently disclosed that we may eventually have an anode-free sodium-metal cell. Published by Nature last July 3, the research gave us the perspective of using a cheaper and much more ...

Anode-free sodium metal batteries (AFSMBs) are promising next-generation energy storage systems due to their high energy density and low cost. Unlike traditional designs that include a hard carbon or ...
