Supercharging the future: India’s Scientists design fast-charging & long-lasting sodium-ion battery

In a world racing towards electrification—from cars to villages—one thing remains crucial: affordable, fast, and safe batteries. While lithium-ion batteries have powered this revolution so far, they are costly. Besides, lithium resources are limited and geopolitically constrained. But scientists in Bengaluru may have just found a powerful alternative.

A research team at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) has developed a super-fast charging sodium-ion battery (SIB) based on a NASICON-type cathode and anode material, that can charge up to 80% in just six minutes and last over 3000 charge cycles.

🚨 Our latest @advancematerial paper is out!
We report a NASICON anode for #SodiumIonBatteries that enables ⚡80% charge in 6 min &🔁 stable cycling over 3000+ cycles!
I’m thankful to @PremJNC for his guidance and support. A special shoutout to @swathyn99, my amazing coworker.
