New discovery lets sodium-ion batteries store more energy while purifying water
University of Surrey researchers discovered a compound known as nanostructured sodium vanadate hydrate (NVOH) – a layered sodium-based material that naturally contains water within its crystalline structure. Traditionally, researchers treat such compounds with heat to evaporate that water, assuming it weakens the material’s stability. The Surrey team tested that assumption…
