A new sodium–air fuel cell triples lithium battery energy density and could enable electric planes. It’s safer, carbon-negative, and built from cheap, abundant materials — with a startup already ...

A new sodium-air fuel cell could be a more practical and sustainable power source (Joule 2025, DOI: 10.1016/j.joule.2025.101962). The fuel cell has an energy density of over 1,000 W h/kg, roughly ...

MIT boffins have built a prototype fuel cell using liquid sodium and air that could one day power aircraft, and may help capture carbon through its byproducts. Skeptical? You can be forgiven. Even MIT ...

Liquid sodium metal fills the tube on one side, and air flows through the other, providing the oxygen for the electrochemical reaction at the center, which ends up gradually consuming the sodium fuel.

A sodium-ion breakthrough may slash EV prices and threaten America’s lithium reliance. Here’s how it could transform electric cars.

2.6. Valorization of Hydrogen Peroxide to Sodium Percarbonate The anodic outlet stream of the electrolyzer (Stream 12) consisting of Na 2 CO 3 electrolyte and H 2 O 2 must be valorized to SPC. In the ...

New ceramic catalyst uses sodium and boron to drive sustainable industrial reactions Researchers create a sodium-doped form of amorphous silicon-boron-nitride catalyst that may enable more ...

This type of reaction is called a thermal decomposition reaction. In this case, two molecules of sodium bicarbonate produce one molecule of sodium carbonate, carbon dioxide, and water.

Soda ash, also known by its chemical name sodium carbonate, has actually been used for thousands of years and has some pretty surprising applications. We'll explore the history and modern day uses of ...
