A research team led by Prof. Cao from Central South University has developed an innovative dual-modification strategy that significantly boosts the performance of hard carbon anodes in sodium-ion ...

Ion-atom collision dynamics explores the fundamental interactions that occur when charged particles impact neutral atoms, leading to processes such as elastic scattering, excitation, ionisation and ...

An E10X sodium-ion-powered microcar in yellow. E10X, a microcar made by the Chinese firm JAC Yiwei, a joint venture between JAC and Volkswagen, is one of the first mass-produced vehicles to be powered ...

The Chinese startup has begun mass-producing two types of sodium-ion batteries and plans to launch a third this month. HiNa Battery Technology is a trailblazer in developing and mass-producing ...

Sodium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage are moving toward the mainstream. Wider use of these batteries could lead to lower costs, less fire risk, and less need for lithium, ...

CATL's second-generation sodium-ion cells can reportedly discharge normally even at -40 degrees Celsius (-40F as temperature scales converge). Depending on the make and model, EV batteries perform the ...

They power tiny phones and two-tonne electric cars. They form the guts of a growing number of grid-storage systems that smooth the flow of electricity from wind and solar power stations. Without them, ...
