Rethinking glyme electrolytes in sodium batteries: from passive solvents to active reaction media

Sodium-based batteries are emerging as promising alternatives to lithium technologies owing to the abundance and low cost of sodium. However, their performance is strongly governed by electrolyte chemistry. This perspective examines the role of glyme-based electrolytes in sodium...

Behavior of iron and mineral magnetite particles in redox cycles including direct oxidation in a high temperature reactor

The coupling of iron oxide reduction and its subsequent oxidation is a promising technology for energy storage and recovery. The evolution of the properties of the iron particles along successive cycles is an aspect of obvious relevance in this subject. In the present work, two m...
