A team of Åbo Akademi University researchers is pioneering the next generation of sustainable battery design, developing sodium batteries using advanced 3D printing technology.
The researchers are performing a multidisciplinary project known as SUSTEC that combines 3D printing techniques with renewable materials and high-temperature technology to develop unique, next-generation, environmentally friendly batteries based on sodium instead of lithium. The novel sodium batteries may be a key breakthrough in powering the green energy transition.
The SUSTEC project
As the planet strives toward carbon neutrality, the increasing use of renewable energy and electrification in society creates a significant need for batteries for electrical energy storage. This means innovative battery designs will be essential to supply the exponentially increasing demand and protect the Earth’s finite…
