Sodium batteries' commercialization gets boost with this novel method
Developed by a research team at the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI), the technology enables ultrafast, 30-second preparation of hard carbon anodes for sodium-ion batteries using microwave induction heating.
Dr. Jong Hwan Park stated that due to recent electric vehicle fires, there has been growing interest in sodium-ion batteries that are safer and function well in colder conditions. “Our microwave induction heating technology enables fast and easy preparation of hard carbon, which I believe will contribute to the commercialization of sodium-ion batteries,” said Dr. Daeho Kim. The feasibility of MIH for scalable roll-to-roll production of HC anodes was verified through local heating tests using a circular sheet larger than a resonator,” said researchers in the study.
