Sodium-ion battery cells already near lithium-ion cost parity, set to get cheaper
5+ hour, 31+ min ago (300+ words) By 2050, sodium-ion batteries with fast learning rates could deliver storage at 1114/MWh cheaper than lithium-ion at 1622/MWh while also offering higher energy-to-power ratios and high cycle durability, a new research finds. By 2050, sodium-ion batteries with fast learning rates could deliver…...
This simple design change could finally fix solid-state batteries
5+ hour, 58+ min ago (372+ words) Why Solid Electrolytes Are Safer but Harder to Optimize Traditional lithium-ion batteries depend on a liquid electrolyte that allows lithium ions to move between electrodes. All-solid-state batteries replace this liquid with a solid electrolyte, which greatly improves safety. However, lithium…...
Scientists make 3D-printed, color-tunable solar cells for windows, flexible surfaces
7+ hour, 33+ min ago (503+ words) Interestingly, these can be 3D-printed onto windows, building fa'ades, and flexible surfaces. These panels shed the bulky, industrial look of solar arrays, giving designers the choice between a slightly transparent window or a vibrant, color-tinted architectural feature. Standard solar panels…...
