Scientists use 270-year-old physics effect to boost cathode in sodium-ion batteries
SMRTR summary
Researchers from India, Australia, and the UK developed a breakthrough sodium-ion battery cathode using a 270-year-old physics phenomenon called the Leidenfrost effect to create an "atomic highway" for sodium ions. By adding indium to an iron-based material and using flash-evaporation manufacturing, they achieved exceptional durability of 10,000 charge cycles compared to lithium batteries' few hundred cycles.
