Researchers at the University of Sydney say they have found new ways to make sodium sulfur batteries that are less costly than lithium ion.
Researchers at the University of Sydney in Australia are touting new breakthroughs in the lab that they say may lead to new, low cost sodium sulfur batteries with four times the energy storage capacity of lithium-ion batteries. Their research has been published recently in the journalAtomically Dispersed Dual-Site Cathode with a Record High Sulfur Mass Loading for High-Performance Room-Temperature Sodium–Sulfur Batteries.
Led by Dr Shenlong Zhao from the University of Sydney School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, the researchers made their experimental battery using sodium sulfur, a type of molten salt that can be processed from sea water. The researchers predict it will cost much less to produce than lithium-ion batteries.
“When the sun isn’t shining and the breeze isn’t blowing, we need high quality storage solutions that don’t cost the Earth and are easily accessible on a local or regional level.We hope that by providing a technology that reduces costs we can sooner reach a clean energy horizon. It probably goes without saying but the faster we can decarbonize — the better chances we have of capping warming.
