In recent years, scientists have become increasingly interested in the potential of platinum nanoparticles (PNPs) for accelerating the electrochemical process in sodium-ion batteries. A team of researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has now discovered the synergistic roles of PNPs and sodium ions in the electrochemical process, which could lead to improved energy storage capacity in sodium-ion batteries. The team’s findings, published in the journal Nanoscale, could help to further advance the development of sodium-ion batteries for use in electric vehicles and other applications.
