#new #Natron Energy#battery #teslacar #byd #evs
Natron Energy is a leading manufacturer of sodium-ion batteries based in Santa Clara, California. The company was founded in 2012 by a team of scientists and engineers from Stanford University who wanted to create a better battery for industrial power and energy markets. They discovered that by using a special material called Prussian blue as the electrode, they could create a battery that has many advantages over conventional lithium-ion batteries. Prussian blue is a common pigment that has been used for centuries in painting and dyeing. It is made from iron and cyanide ions that form a crystal structure with tiny holes that can store sodium ions.

    Same here. It's mostly the NMC generation that has this risk, but a parking lot full of LFP EV's will still burn to the ground if just one faulty NMC car starts the fire. Lithium battery fires are much more dangerous than petrol fires, as they can not be stopped in any way and will burn for days.

    Specs from Narton site -> 17.3 Wh/kg. One battery is 75 kg and gets about 1.3kWh. Unfortunately it's a bit far from the 140 Wh/kg sodium battery the chinese HiNa claimed. An usual Li-ion -> 80-120 Wh/ kg.

Solid state Na Sulfur batteries. Granted, Li will also have the abuility to also use these new methods too. Li will hit something like 5-600 while Na will be something like 3-400. Almost double the power dens of the current 150-200 of current Na batteries meaning you should be able to add more or use less depending on the range you want to hit. Cheap isnt the goal - the real goal is manufacturing scale. If you can scale the production then everything else just gets cheaper because of it. Li has a limited supply of mining supply. Na will have the ability to be mine at almost 10x meaning there will be a larger supply and thus allow manufacturing scales to produce enough batteries for all sorts of products - batteries in EV to Grid/Homes.

    I would not recommend opening any battery, because the same thing will happen. Spliting salt (NaCl) into Na (sodium) and Cl (chloride) takes a lot of energy, just like splitting H2O (water) into H2 (hydrogen) and O2 (oxygen). In their pure form, each element is dangerous to handle because it will react and release it's energy. This is why every battery needs to comply to safety standards and rigorous testing is done. Sodium batteries are now proving to be the safest battery technology. When it does fail, it will first react with other materials in the battery in a more controlled way. I think this is a large improvement in safety over anything else available. And unless you use a chainsaw and a swimming pool, i think you will be fine.

    yes they think they are superior with energy well the battery sounds good cheap low weight very good i like that but there it stops because it is doing the same thing other batterys doing energy storage that is the job from a battery. but now they start thinking about data centers well if he is using 1 Mw you need a storage from at least 1 Mw and a suply from 1Mw to charge them woke believers with no sun and no wind, it is only a backup for a X time. i use a battery only i take 6Kwh from it to create 40 Kwh and we can create a other 6Kwh to charge the battery so it never going empty. so a battery is nothing other then a storage it needs energy to load it. the time to store it play a big role 2 minutes or 2 days. 200 batterys from 20 Kwh is 4000Kwh 200 x 40 Kwh is8000 Kwh and this is not needed in battery power, it is what it is storage for what you need!

    But we will continue to make the electricity for EVs by burning fossil fuels.

    Yes and no, there are always charts showing that Solar and Wind make up a good amount of power - the issue mainly comes down to storage - we burn more fossil fuels so make sure we cover the power usage - as we dont know how much power at a given time we need to produce. By allow batteries into the mix - we can stop wasting/buring more fossils fuels than needed and allow the day time sun engery to cover a lot of the night time. Places that have batteries already are showing they can reduce peeker plants by 25% already. Thats amazing. Granted, we still need to keep peeker plants in place to make some power - but we wont need as many as we do now to make that happen. Let alone, the carbon can be capture and put back into deep earth to be return to rock again.

    @@adr2t I agree that advances in battery technology can make improvements, but it is still true that there is no "clean" way of making electricity, building a wind turbine or making a solar system. The hoped for rise in the number of EVs will require many new power stations and miles and miles of transmission lines and pylons, to power fast and complex vehicles when we mostly just want to get to work or the shops. Additionally, lack of "cheap" energy is slowing down our ability to plunder the Earth's resources, the more energy we have available to us, the more damage we do -- are you advocating a more rapid decline ?

    @@kerryburns6041 Well you have to define what you mean by "clean" because everything will have a carbon foot print, but how much carbon is the real question. I am not fully following your logic - while that might be true, ICE still requires buring more fossil fuels that requires a ton more energy to produce the gas you use. Let alone the transporting of the gas that uses gas. You also wasting a ton of energy just cooling the stuff once you transported to a gas station. Aka, an ICE car will only have about 1-10% of the energy that we could've burn at a power plant for 90-95%. Cables are easy to make and actully dont require that much energy to produce and normally last a whole life time of a human if not longer. RRR - Reuse, reduce, recycle allows you to reuse wire as it gets older and needs to be replace or can be reused in other locations. Cables in general are amazing in terms of low cost resourcse management. So I am not fully following your issues considering its not really a problem if we all switch over to EV/power. Let alone it adds small power plants to the grid in terms of cars and their batteries could off set power transporting around the country. Fun fact, you can use your Tesla during a power outage to power your house. Tell me how you can do that with a ICE power car? I am a big believer in solar than any other power generation only because it can be place anywhere and has the lowest maintenance cost compare to other forms of power generation as its a solid state (no moving parts). As for the toxic waste - they dont produce that much and a lot of that going away over the next few years. While it is true they do generation less power over their life time - its not like they just simply "stop" working either. Meaning they don't have to be replace in their 25 year life span - they can be used in other lower power use cases "used market" for smaller projects. Not going to lie - if we're talking anything that last 25+ years I am going to say you are silly when it comes to carbon foot print/waste - because thats almost 200x better than what we're currently doing in time scales of only a single day. The food you eat produces more waste and carbon than any single EV will produce over its life time.

    All I have read about these sodium batteries is that they are safe... but not practical, BECAUSE THEY NEED A BIGGER VOLUME to be same efficient as lithium. And for cars, laptops and smartphones is NOT GOOD ! So, we have to wait...
