Sodium-ion batteries are potentially a safer and less expensive alternative, but current versions don&#8217;t last long enough yet for practical use. Now, scientists have developed an anode material that enables sodium-ion batteries to perform at high capacity over hundreds of cycles, according to their report in the journal ACS Nano.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lithium-ion batteries have become essential in everyday technology.
