The push for high-density alternative battery chemistries continues with sodium-ion solutions, which are gaining traction in manufacturing and production. Recent announcements by Hithium for a sodium-ion product for energy storage highlight that despite energy density challenges, material diversification and abundant resources create new opportunities.
Now, a new study shows The Dincă Group at Princeton has developed a high-energy sodium-ion cathode that shows promise to potentially outperform many lithium-ion counterparts.
Their cathode material, bis-tetraaminobenzoquinone (TAQ), is an organic layered solid that enables both high energy and power densities at a scale suitable for commercialization. This material has been tested for lithium-ion solutions as well.

I’m no chemist but if that’s 4 electron holes that would be a 400% increase in charge carrying capacity on lithium ions 1 free electron hole.
