Paper mill waste could enable cheaper sodium-ion batteries

Original: Paper mill waste could become key material for cheaper sodium-ion batteries https:// interestingengineering.com/ene rgy/

Researchers have found a way to turn wood waste from paper mills into carbon nanofibers, a material that could serve as a key component in sodium-ion batteries. Because sodium-ion cells rely on cheap, abundant materials, using paper mill waste as an electrode ingredient could make this battery technology significantly more affordable, with potential applications in grid storage and other cost-sensitive energy uses.

Why now: Interest in cheaper alternatives to lithium-ion batteries is growing, and this research offers a promising low-cost material source.
