A team working at JNCASR, a scientific research center affiliated with India’s Ministry of Science and Technology, has developed a new generation sodium-ion battery that can charge 80 percent in just 6 minutes and has a cycle life of more than 3,000.

Battery that charges 80 percent in 6 minutes has been designed

The widespread use of lithium-ion batteries continues to be a subject of debate in terms of high cost, fire risk, dependence on rare raw materials and environmental sustainability. The availability of a more common and economical element such as sodium in battery technology has been a significant turning point in the energy sector.

Indian researchers have designed a special anode material to achieve one of the highest performance values ​​ever recorded in sodium-ion batteries. The developed anode consists of a nanostructured, carbon-coated and aluminum-doped composition.

This structure allows ions to move faster and more efficiently within the battery, while also increasing the durability and electrical conductivity of the structure. In the studies conducted; the battery stood out not only with its ability to charge quickly, but also with its long-lasting use and not losing performance even at high temperatures.

The potential areas of use of this battery are also quite wide. The new technology can be put into operation in many areas, from electric vehicles to solar and wind power plants, from unmanned aerial vehicles to rural areas where access to electricity is limited.
