Scientists have developed a new hydrogel electrolyte that can significantly enhance the performance of sodium-zinc hybrid ion batteries.

The Zn–SA–PSN hydrogel’s unique polymer design offers 2.5 V stability and 43 mS/cm ionic conductivity, surpassing conventional electrolytes.

It sometimes seems like battery experts take an à la carte approach when pulling elements from the periodic table to apply to pack chemistry, with lithium, sodium, sulfur, and even potassium among the ...

However, as zinc-ions electroplate onto and off of the anode, several destructive processes can occur, including the growth off needle-like ‘dendrites’ (think tin whiskers) and corrosion of the zinc ...

Sodium-ion batteries show promise as a cheaper, more sustainable alternative to lithium-ion but need major advancements to become competitive. Stanford’s STEER study emphasizes that innovation, not ...

Let’s get one thing out of the way: Salt and sodium are not the same. Usually when you hear about salt or sodium, the words tend to be tossed around interchangeably, which can be confusing at ...

This electrolyte is unable to prevent the formation of sodium dendrites, pointed microscopic structures that cause short circuits. Moreover, BASE also fails to limit the activity of sodium ...
