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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

South Korea’s LG Chem Ltd has signed an agreement with China's state-owned oil and gas company Sinopec Corporation.

There’s no debating that metallic sodium is exciting stuff, but getting your hands on some can be problematic, what with the need to ship it in a mineral oil bath to keep it from exploding. So why not ...
