Researchers in China have reported a laboratory-scale sodium–sulfur battery design that, if it can be translated beyond the lab, could alter how energy storage costs and performance are evaluated.

Thermal management is essential for reducing future heating and cooling energy consumption. Notably, the near-infrared (NIR) ...

A sodium-doped, transition metal-free amorphous SiBN ceramic, composed of silicon (Si), boron (B), and nitrogen (N), was designed for small molecule activation and catalysis. The strategic ...

They published their work on Aug. 25 in Energy Material Advances. "Aqueous secondary batteries hold substantial promise for stationary energy storage," notes Professor Ying Bai, affiliated with the ...

New sodium sulphur battery technology could offer a safer, cheaper alternative to lithium batteries. Read more.
