Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a promising technology in energy storage and electric mobility, poised to potentially replace lithium-ion batteries in the near future. Our research is at the forefront of this exciting field, focusing on developing novel, sustainable materials for both cathodes and anodes. By synthesizing innovative layered oxide composites and carbon-based materials, we aim to create high-performance, cost-effective sodium-ion batteries. Our approach combines cutting-edge experimental techniques with advanced computational methods, including machine learning and density functional theory simulations. This allows us to optimize materials and processes, bringing us closer to our goal of demonstrating full-cell prototypes with energy density and cycle life comparable to current lithium-ion technologies. Join us as we explore the future of large-scale energy storage and contribute to a more sustainable electric future.
