Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin are exploring the use of sodium sulphate as a low - cost
Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin are exploring the use of sodium sulphate as a low - cost, high - performance electrolyte for next - generation batteries. Traditional lithium - ion batteries use electrolytes made from lithium salts, which are expensive and have limited availability. Sodium sulphate, by contrast, is abundant, affordable, and has excellent thermal stability—properties that make it ideal for use in batteries. Initial tests show that sodium sulphate - based electrolytes can operate at temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C, with a conductivity level comparable to that of lithium - based electrolytes. The research team is now working with industry partners to develop prototype batteries for use in grid energy storage systems.
