Low-cost sodium and magnesium batteries

Safety issues and fluctuation cost of raw materials for lithium-ion batteries are gradually exposed in their applications. Due to the abundance of sodium and magnesium salt reservoirs and reduced flammable liquid electrolytes, low-cost solid-state sodium and magnesium batteries are economical alternatives for future transportation and energy storage.  The group focuses on developing solid-state sodium and magnesium batteries with low-cost and high energy density and aims to develop novel methodologies and techniques for the practicability and mass production of solid-state batteries. We hope our work can shed some light on the future development of solid-state sodium and magnesium-ion batteries.
