Two-faced graphene offers sodium-ion battery a tenfold boost in capacity

Whether it's forming special foams that act as thermal switches, mixing with ceramics to form ultra-tough electrolytes or being used to cage delicate silicon particles, graphene is already shaping the future of battery technology in some interesting ways. Scientists in Sweden have now deployed a novel form of the wonder material in a sustainable sodium battery, and shown how it can be used to bring about a tenfold increase in capacity.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Chalmers University of Technology, Sodium battery, Batteries, Battery, Graphene
