New long battery life from wood and sodium

At present, there are many new battery technologies that scientists are turning to, such as small, lightweight Li-S batteries, or fast rechargeable batteries.

Recently, scientists have just launched a new battery technology made from wood fibers and sodium.

Material scientists at the University of Maryland have successfully studied the battery made of wood fiber and sodium, which increases the current lithium battery life by about 400 times.

The battery will be used as a base material, plus sodium inside and tinned. Wood fibers will reduce the contraction and swelling inherent in the battery and this is a prerequisite for increasing the life of the battery.

This result was surprising to the University of Maryland scientists because it would be the longest lifespan of the current nanoparticles.

"The inspiration from the wood has given us ideas for making batteries from this environmentally friendly material." Wood is ubiquitous and will be the ideal material for storage. in the near future, " said Liangbing Hu, an assistant professor of materials science at the University of Maryland.

The new findings are thought to be groundbreaking, not only towards environmental standards but also for the production of high capacity, low-cost Na-ion batteries. In addition, this will be technology directed towards solar panels and similar technology.
