Can sodium-ion storage drive energy flexibility in France?
France’s Association Environnement Juste has proposed a storage mandate for renewables projects exceeding 10 kWp in order to integrate flexibility at the source. The association argues European sodium-ion batteries could present an economically and environmentally viable solution, capable of stabilizing grids without depending on imported metals.
2D carbon selenide offers route to competitive sodium-ion batteries
Researchers at TU Delft propose using 2D carbon selenide as a sodium-ion battery anode, offering a theoretical capacity of 589 mAh/g with minimal volume expansion. Computational studies confirmed the material’s structural and thermal stability, as well as tunable electrochemical properties, making it a promising candidate for large-scale, renewable-linked energy storage.

High temperature sodium-zinc batteries: Researchers use X-rays to find reasons for capacity loss
Sodium-zinc molten-salt batteries operate at around 600 degrees Celsius and are considered highly promising for stationary energy storage, thanks to their abundantly available and low-cost raw materials. But persistent capacity losses have held the technology back. Helmholtz researchers have now used operando X-ray imaging to see, for the first time, exactly why.
World’s fastest supercomputers probing future of sodium-ion batteries
Japanese researchers used supercomputer simulations to reveal how sodium ions form clusters and move within hard carbon anodes, identifying nanopore sizes and transition regions that control diffusion and rate performance in sodium-ion batteries. Their findings offer design guidelines for optimizing hard-carbon anodes to improve energy density, cycling, and commercialization prospects.
