Tag: Sodium ion batteries

Sodium is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, making up 2.6% of the planet's crust, but the term “sodium iron” refers not to a single substance but to a variety of compounds with crucial applications. These materials leverage the unique chemical properties of both sodium and iron to create innovative solutions in energy storage, water treatment, and medicine.

While mineral salts like sodium and potassium are inorganic by definition, the term "organic electrolytes" is often used to describe electrolytes sourced from organically grown produce or those based on carbon compounds in laboratory settings. In nature, the electrolytes found in fruits and vegetables are not inherently organic compounds but are minerals contained within an organic matrix. However, in science, specialized batteries use electrolytes made from carbon-based organic molecules.
