Samara State Technical University has taken an important step in the development of new sodium-conducting materials to reduce the cost of battery production. This was reported in the press service of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
The materials are planned to be made a component of sodium-ion batteries as an alternative to lithium-ion counterparts.
Currently, the most popular metal-ion batteries are lithium-ion batteries. However, manufacturers are faced with a number of problems associated with the depletion of lithium resources and, as a result, the high cost of the device.
Experts studied 600 sodium-containing complex chalcogenide compounds and selected six suitable for further study. They are expected to have greater ionic conductivity compared to oxide counterparts.
The found materials will be tested. Their use will reduce the cost of battery production and increase their power and service life.
Earlier www1.ru reported that a student from Samara created a film to protect gadget batteries from frost.
