As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that the minerals Kobeite, Townendite, Kapustinite and Zolotarevit have low barriers to ion diffusion, making them promising for sodium ion batteries. These batteries are cheaper than lithium batteries and can be an environmentally friendly alternative, the department said.
Research on sodium ion conductivity will accelerate the development of new energy sources. Natural minerals such as olivine already form the basis of cathode materials in modern batteries.
