Consumption of sodium metal in Europe, pegged at over 19,700 MT in 2016, is expected to surpass 24,200 MT by 2024. NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK, INDIA, September 15, 2022 ...

Sodium layered oxide-based cathodes of sodium-ion batteries commonly suffer from structural degradation. Here, authors propose entropy regulation with zero Li/Co usage to suppress lattice strain, ...

KAUST team uses non-solvating additives to stabilise high-voltage sodium metal batteries for grid and EV storage.

"SODIUM IS a small world," says Frédéric Chaminant, sales director of France's Métaux Spéciaux SA, the world's largest sodium metal producer. Global demand of 80,000 to 90,000 metric tons per year is ...

Researchers and scientists began work on sodium-ion battery development as early as the late 1970s to the early 1980s, and continued to progress throughout the eighties. However, lithium-ion batteries ...

A high school friend once related the story about how his father, a chemist for an environmental waste concern, disposed of a problematic quantity of metallic sodium by dumping it into one of the more ...

Lithium-based batteries are great, with different electrode chemistries allowing them to be slotted into a variety of uses. The problem with them has nothing to do with their performance. The ...

Researchers have discovered a low-energy way to recycle Teflon® by using mechanical motion and sodium metal. The process turns the notoriously durable plastic into sodium fluoride that can be reused ...

We teamed up with Cody's Lab to cut pure sodium metal. The sodium reacts explosively with water, creating fireballs and highlighting our adventurous approach to science experiments. Topics covered inc ...

In a demonstration that defies basic assumptions in physics, researchers have created liquid sodium at room temperature. As a member of the alkali metals—the first column in the periodic table—sodium ...
