­Cheap Battery has Four Times the Capacity of Lithium-Ion

The sodium-sulphur battery has four times the energy capacity of lithium-ion batteries.

  There has been a lot of research done on molten-salt batteries in recent times. The technology has a very high energy density and can often be cheaper to produce than other technologies. They are also less toxic than the Li-ion batteries that we often use now for energy storage. The low cost aspect

Long-Life Electrode Material for Solid-State Batteries

Lithium-ion batteries in today's electric vehicles don’t deliver the necessary performance and durability at a reasonable price.

  Solid-state batteries (SSBs) look as if they will win the battle to become the technology that replaces the lithium-ion batteries we currently use, especially in applications such as electric vehicles. They have all the positive attributes of Li-ion batteries, but their solid electrolyte is safer and
