In the new study, researchers from MIT, University of Southern Denmark and University of Copenhagen, have found a way to make the sodium-ion battery more energy efficient. The importance of lithium-ion batteries can not be understated, as they are used in virtually every device. Lithium-ion batteries on the other hand offered a safer and more efficient alternative. However, when scientists made the lithium-ion battery, they tested a slew of other metals besides lithium.
