We rely on batteries now more than ever, from our phones and laptops to electric vehicles. But the ones powering today's ...

Scientists have developed a new sodium metal anode for rechargeable batteries that resists the formation of dendrites, a common problem with standard sodium metal anodes that can lead to shorting and ...

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 ...

Sodium metal batteries (SMBs) have attracted extensive attention because of their high theoretical capacity (1166 mAh/g), low redox potential (−2.71 V vs. SHE), high natural material abundance, and ...

Sodium secondary batteries have a similar working principle to lithium secondary batteries, but are low-cost and are expected to serve a powerful supplement to lithium secondary batteries. Solid-state ...

Lithium is a metal that dominates the battery industry. Lightweight and powerful, lithium-ion batteries are used in laptops, phones, scooters, electric toothbrushes and other consumer electronics.
