How much longer for lithium13 May 2024 22:25
Natron Energy, a trailblazer in sodium-ion battery technology, has started mass-producing lithium-free sodium batteries in its Holland, Michigan facility.
This marks an alternative to lithium-ion batteries, boasting benefits such as speedier cycling, extended lifespan, and safer usage.
For those who came in about 2000 years too later, Natron was a sodium salt used in embalming ancient Egyptian mummies. It is 500 to 1,000 times more abundant than lithium on our dear planet Earth and doesn't require the same kind of earth-damaging extraction.
