The newly developed sodium-ion battery stores as much energy as some commercially available lithium-ion batteries<\/a>. This development could be the start of a new and sustainable era for battery technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n The team reports the ability to deliver a capacity similar to some lithium-ion batteries and to recharge successfully, keeping more than 80% of its charge after 1,000 cycles. “This is a major development for sodium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n “There is great interest around the potential for replacing Li-ion batteries with Na-ion in many applications,” said Dr Imre Gyuk, director of Energy Storage for the Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity<\/a> who supported this work at PNNL.<\/p>\nAn innovative take on battery chemistry<\/h3>\n
