钠电池获超级计算机助力

Researchers at UC San Diego have used the Expanse supercomputer to help design improved sodium-ion battery materials, bringing cheaper and longer-lasting large- scale energy storage a step closer. The work centers on a sodium-based cathode enhanced with small amounts of lithium and titanium, a chemical adjustment that helped the material store more energy and remain stable at higher voltages. The study was published in Advanced Energy Materials and used computing resources at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The result matters because sodium-ion batteries are one of the most promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries for grid storage. …
