Scientists develop sodium battery as alternative to lithium-ion

Scientists are exploring sodium for its potential in cost-effective power facilities. However, sodium's reactivity with water and its tendency to form a solid electrolyte interface in batteries pose challenges. Purdue University researchers have developed a method using ultrasonic dispersion to stabilize sodium, enhancing battery performance and capacity.
