Chloride ions, best known for helping cells maintain fluid balance and electrical stability, may also play a more direct role in regulating brain development than previously thought. In a new study, ...

Researchers reveal new mechanisms governing the storage and the movement of sodium ions in hard carbon nanopore anodes. (Nanowerk News) Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are gaining traction as a ...

A surprising breakthrough could help sodium-ion batteries rival lithium—and even turn seawater into drinking water. Scientists discovered that keeping water inside a key battery material, instead of ...

The electric vehicle (EV) market may be about to explode with some really cool news. Now, off the cuff, that sounds like a very broad statement to make. However, a series of breakthroughs by Chinese ...

Three years ago, East Palestine, Ohio, became a national focal point of what can happen when an industrial disaster collides with uncertainty about public health. For families here, anxiety lingers.

To combat rising lithium prices, Chinese battery manufacturers are pushing for new types of battery chemistries, including sodium-ion. CATL unveiled its first sodium-ion battery, “Naxtra,” during its ...

Winter has its fans, but even those who enjoy playing in the snow probably dislike the chore of clearing up after a big storm that dumps several inches or even feet of snow and ice. It's easy to dash ...

After launching its new Tectrans II series sodium-ion batteries for light commercial vehicles on Thursday, CATL’s chief tech officer, Gao Huan, confirmed that the new battery tech will also be used in ...

A team at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems (IKTS) has developed a new type of sodium-ion battery that uses lignin as a key electrode material. Lignin is a natural ...

What if the future of energy storage didn’t rely on expensive, hard-to-source materials like lithium? In the video below, Ziroth breaks down how CATL’s reinforced sodium-ion battery could redefine the ...

Researchers found that sodium-ion batteries charge faster than lithium-ion batteries and handle temperature changes better, while being cheaper to produce since sodium is abundant. The technology ...
