An Energy & Environmental Science Communication by Philipp Adelhelm and co-workers has been featured in an C&EN article Making Better Sodium-Ion Batteries.
The rise of the sodium ion battery: A nanostructured material has been used as an anode in a sodium ion battery for the first time and its performance is better than all carbon materials tested so far, say researchers from Germany.
