I tried dropping sodium metal into sulfuric acid — and the reaction was way more intense (and dangerous) than I expected.

June 02, 2025 A proof-of-concept "H-cell" with a liquid sodium metal chamber on the left, an air chamber on the right, and a solid ceramic electrolyte (black) in the middle Gretchen Ertl View 3 Images ...

When leaded gasoline was the norm, before it was phased out, sodium metal was used to make the tetraethyl lead used as an additive, and it was being produced in the U.S. at a capacity of 200,000 tons ...

In the 1970s, the US had a manufacturing capacity of over 200,000 tons of sodium metal per year, with E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company being the largest producer.

Their answer is to react liquid metal sodium in a fuel cell with oxygen from the air. “We expect people to think that this is a totally crazy idea,” Chiang said in a statement.

Engineers developed a fuel cell that offers more than three times as much energy per pound compared to lithium-ion batteries. Powered by a reaction between sodium metal and air, the device could ...
