Argonne researchers find cathode material synthesis a key reason for performance degradation of sodium-ion batteries

"degradation intensified when cycling cathodes at high temperature (130 degrees Fahrenheit) or with fast charging (one hour instead of 10 hours). Our insights are extremely important for the large-scale manufacturing of improved sodium-ion cathodes. Because of the large amount of material involved, say, 1000 kilograms, there will be a large temperature variation, which will lead to many defects forming unless appropriate steps are taken"
