Project NextGen of ABC fabricates Philippines' first-ever Sodium-ion Batteries

Researchers of 𝗔𝗕𝗖 𝗣𝗛’𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗚𝗲𝗻 has achieved a significant breakthrough: the development of the 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬' 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐒𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦-𝐈𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 (𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐬). These batteries incorporated three families of cathodes such as 𝙋𝙧𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝘽𝙡𝙪𝙚 𝘼𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙪𝙚𝙨 (𝙋𝘽𝘼𝙨), 𝙇𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙈𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙊𝙭𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙨 (𝙇𝙏𝙈𝙊𝙨), 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙮𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙞𝙘 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙨.

With abundant and cost-effective sodium, SIBs offer a sustainable alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries, holding immense potential for renewable energy applications. This achievement showcases 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 and sets the stage for a cleaner, more sustainable energy landscape.

𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 (𝗔𝗕𝗖 𝗣𝗛) is a collaborative R&D program between Technological Institute of the Philippines (TIP) and University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD) funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) through DOST-Science for Change Program. The three projects under this program focus on innovating different battery chemistries.

The 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗚𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 aims to develop advanced cathode materials for next-generation batteries. The 𝗥𝗘𝗕𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 targets to renew the Edison Battery using advanced cell architecture. 𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗕-𝗘𝗨 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 pursues to develop advanced lead acid batteries with embedded ultrasonics.
