Thermal management is essential for reducing future heating and cooling energy consumption. Notably, the near-infrared (NIR) component of sunlight is closely associated with heat absorption.

Sodium-ion batteries, once sidelined by falling lithium prices, are back in focus. This time, the shift appears to be driven by changing market conditions and renewed interest from customers.

Sodium polyacrylate, the sodium salt of poly (acrylic acid), is a substance with wide-ranging uses, depending on the degree of polymerization. It emerged in the 1950s under the tradename Krilium as an ...

Researchers found that sodium-ion batteries charge faster than lithium-ion batteries and handle temperature changes better, while being cheaper to produce since sodium is abundant. The technology ...

Iron-sodium battery makers Inlyte Energy just crossed an important line from lab to grid reality. The company has completed a factory acceptance test of its first field-ready iron-sodium battery ...

A new sodium-ion battery offers a cheaper and safer alternative to conventional lithium-ion systems, scientists say, paving the way for more sustainable EVs. When you purchase through links on our ...

Highly reactive organometallic reagents, like organolithiums (molecules with a carbon–lithium bond) are essential reagents in organic synthesis because of their applications from polymer synthesis to ...

High blood sugar levels can cause blood sodium levels to appear low. However, this is usually due to a dilutional effect. Doctors can use a sodium glucose correction formula to calculate accurate ...

A report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) notes that while it is still uncertain whether sodium-ion batteries will become a disruptive alternative to lithium-ion technology, they ...

American battery startup Peak Energy and energy developer Jupiter Power have teamed up to deploy grid-scale sodium-ion batteries. It's a big step forward for the nascent—and in some ways, ...

Burlingame, California-based Peak Energy just scored a huge win for sodium-ion batteries. The company announced a multi-year deal with utility-scale battery storage developer Jupiter Power to supply ...
