🔬 New publication from The MUSIC Project on #sodium-ion #capacitors Sodium-ion capacitors (SICs) offer a high-energy, high-power alternative while reducing dependence on lithium. However, a key challenge is the low first coulombic efficiency caused by disordered carbon anodes. To address this, pre-sodiation agents can be used to prevent sodium ion depletion from the electrolyte during initial cycles. In this study, researchers from our coordinator, CIC energiGUNE, explore sodium mesoxalate, a non-toxic and sustainable compound, as a pre-sodiation agent. 📄 Sodium mesoxalate as pre-sodiation agent for sodium-ion capacitors 🖊️ Authors: María Canal Rodríguez, María Arnaiz, Silvia Martin, Bruno Correa de Souza, Shanmukaraj Devaraj, and Jon Ajuria (Principal Investigator of the MUSIC project). 🔗 Access to the full paper in our webpage: https://lnkd.in/dWsRvYxX This marks the third publication from the MUSIC project, contributing to the advancement of sodium-ion capacitors. Stay tuned! ⚡🔋
