Sodium-ion Battery Technology

Recently, a team of scientists from the University of Houston has developed a homogeneous glassy electrolyte that makes it more viable to produce sodium ion-based batteries commercially.

• The study significantly boosts the scope of development of sodium-based battery technology as a viable alternative to lithium-based ones.

Key Highlights: Grid-level Energy Storage Systems: The study found that ambient temperature solid-state sodium-sulfur battery technology can be used for grid-level energy storage systems with the help of the new electrolyte.

• Stripping of Anode: The positively charged metallic ion in sodium takes the charge from the anode to the cathode of a battery when the ....
