Iron fluoride cathode materials have emerged as a promising class for next-generation rechargeable batteries, offering high theoretical energy densities and the potential for both lithium-ion and ...

Li-Ion batteries may be all the rage today, but scientists believe fluoride-ion batteries are better. The only problem is they haven’t found the perfect material to conduct the fluoride ions. A new ...

A thorough analysis of market, technological, and supply chain outcomes for sodium-ion batteries finds that significant advances are needed before commercialization. Legions of battery engineers and ...

“What a time it is to be a battery chemist—on paper, some are even multimillionaires,” says Jerry Barker, chief scientist and founder of the battery firm Faradion and a chemist who has been ...

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 ...

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 ...

On a special episode (first released on July 14, 2025) of The Excerpt podcast: Many of today’s gadgets are powered by lithium-ion batteries, but that could be changing. Shirley Meng, a University of ...

While lithium ion battery prices are falling again, interest in sodium ion (Na-ion) energy storage has not waned. With a global ramp-up of cell manufacturing capacity under way, it remains unclear ...

Scientists discovered that keeping water in sodium vanadate hydrate doubles a sodium battery’s charge capacity and stability. The same technology can also remove salt from seawater, creating potential ...

Global demand for sodium-ion batteries is expected to grow to just under 70 GWh in 2033, from 10 GWh in 2025, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27%, according to UK-based market research ...
