Ep 18 - Sodium’s New Trick: When Solvents Join the Battery Game
from The Deep Dive Lab: Unraveling Materials Science · host Son Hoang
Sodium-ion batteries are often seen as the sustainable successor to lithium—but a new twist is emerging. This episode dives into solvent co-intercalation, a phenomenon where solvent molecules infiltrate the cathode alongside sodium ions. Far from being a flaw, this could be a new lever for tuning redox properties, phase behavior, and cycle life in SIBs.Feature paper:https://doi.org/10.1038/s41563-025-02287-7Article
