Chapter 4 Sodium-Based Battery Technologies Figure 3. An FZSoNick 48TL200 sodium–nickel battery with welding-sealed cells and heat insulation. 2012 Image by: Rudolf Simon‒Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0. (https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=18740786) Like the NaS systems, the relatively high cost of Na-NiCl2 batteries has limited their widespread distribution. The high temperature operation still introduces more expensive materials and engineering requirements, and the relatively high cost of nickel keeps costs higher than other technologies. They are currently manufactured and distributed by the FZSoNick, which maintains manufacturing capacity for over one million cells per year [2]. Estimated costs for these batteries are around $700/kWh, with projections that these costs may drop to less than $500/kWh by 2025 [5]. General Electric Company originally developed a ZEBRA battery product, known as Durathon, but this technology was never significantly distributed commercially. The Chinese energy storage company Chilwee recently acquired the Durathon technology and has announced plans to begin manufacturing these batteries as part of a more comprehensive battery manufacturing effort. The Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems in Germany has also developed their own Na-NiCl2 battery platform (Cerenergy) for grid-based energy storage [6]. They advertise an effort to adapt the cell design an improve materials chemistry in these systems to reduce cost, but at present, these systems are not widely deployed. 2.3. Sodium-Ion Batteries Although not yet considered commercially mature technologies for grid-scale applications, there are several variations of NaIBs that are currently in development or production. The technologies described here are making significant progress toward implementation, but these do not represent a complete list of all NaIB technologies in development in academia, national labs, and emerging industry. Here, we briefly discuss NaIBs using Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) as electrode materials, batteries using electrode materials directly analogous to those used in Li- ion batteries, and batteries using aqueous electrolytes. 6PDF Image | SODIUM-BASED BATTERY TECHNOLOGIES

Product and Development Focus for Infinity Turbine
ORC Waste Heat Turbine and ORC System Build Plans: All turbine plans are $10,000 each. This allows you to build a system and then consider licensing for production after you have completed and tested a unit.Redox Flow Battery Technology: With the advent of the new USA tax credits for producing and selling batteries ($35/kW) we are focussing on a simple flow battery using shipping containers as the modular electrolyte storage units with tax credits up to $140,000 per system. Our main focus is on the salt battery. This battery can be used for both thermal and electrical storage applications. We call it the Cogeneration Battery or Cogen Battery. One project is converting salt (brine) based water conditioners to simultaneously produce power. In addition, there are many opportunities to extract Lithium from brine (salt lakes, groundwater, and producer water).Salt water or brine are huge sources for lithium. Most of the worlds lithium is acquired from a brine source. It's even in seawater in a low concentration. Brine is also a byproduct of huge powerplants, which can now use that as an electrolyte and a huge flow battery (which allows storage at the source).We welcome any business and equipment inquiries, as well as licensing our turbines for manufacturing.CONTACT TEL: 608-238-6001 Email: greg@infinityturbine.com (Standard Web Page)
