Fuel cells that react liquid sodium metal with air could be the power source required to give electric airplanes much longer ranges, a new paper has proposed. The idea has yet to leave the laboratory ...

An American study recently disclosed that we may eventually have an anode-free sodium-metal cell. Published by Nature last July 3, the research gave us the perspective of using a cheaper and much more ...

Engineers developed a fuel cell that offers more than three times as much energy per pound compared to lithium-ion batteries. Powered by a reaction between sodium metal and air, the device could be ...

Hydrogen fuel cells, which power some electric cars, pack far more energy per weight than lithium-ion batteries. The devices also show promise for decarbonizing aviation, shipping, and trucking. But ...

Zero-emissions air travel may be one step closer after scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology unveiled a new type of sodium fuel cell that could one day make electric-powered flight ...

Fuel cells powered with the metal could provide a new source of electric power that's far more energy-dense than lithium-ion batteries. A new type of fuel cell that runs on sodium metal could one day ...

Anode-free sodium metal batteries (AFSMBs) are promising next-generation energy storage systems due to their high energy density and low cost. Unlike traditional designs that include a hard carbon or ...
