Why sodium-ion can't yet challenge lithium-ion's reign
5+ mon, 2+ hour ago (228+ words) A new generation of sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery cells has been launched as an alternative to the virtual monopoly of lithium-ion (Li-ion). Although the technology is unlikely to displace significant Li-ion market share, recent improvements make Na-ion a viable solution for…...
Sodium-ion battery cells already near lithium-ion cost parity, set to get cheaper
5+ mon, 4+ day ago (435+ words) By 2050, sodium-ion batteries with fast learning rates could deliver storage at 1114/MWh cheaper than lithium-ion at 1622/MWh while also offering higher energy-to-power ratios and high cycle durability, a new research finds.

Shirley Meng, Liew Family Professor in Molecular Engineering at the UChicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering | Image: UChicago PME As lithium-ion batteries continue to improve in terms of both performance and cost, it is becoming increasingly difficult for alternative technologies…...
Researchers identify main source of wide-bandgap solar perovskite degradation
8+ mon, 4+ week ago (276+ words) Scientists in Belgium have investigated how perovskite absorbers used in solar cell degrade under three different stress test types and have found that the interface between the perovskite layer and the electron transport layer suffers from weak thermomechanical stability, which…...
Scientists build bifacial CIS solar cell with record efficiency, power density
10+ mon, 1+ day ago (514+ words) Researchers in South Korea have demonstrated a lower temperature process for bifacial copper, indium, selenium (Cu In Se) solar cells with a rear-side efficiency of 8. 44% and 15. 30% on the front. The device has been developed for applications in tandem solar cells....
