An international team of scientists from NUST MISIS,
Russian Academy of Science and the Helmholtz-Zentrum
Dresden-Rossendorf has found that instead of lithium (Li), sodium
(Na) “stacked” in a special way can be used for battery production.
Sodium batteries would be significantly cheaper and equivalently or
even more capacious than existing lithium batteries. The results of
the study are published in the journal Nano Energy.
