Many of our preceding episodes have focused on development in the Lithium Ion battery field, but of course Lithium is not the only alkali metal that lends itself to use as a battery material.
In this episode we explore the growing interest in Sodium Ion battery technology, and with the help of Spencer Gore, CEO of Bedrock Materials. we explore how Sodium Ion batteries may fit into the landscape of developing battery technologies.

At the core of any battery system is the cathode. The positive electrode, Choices made in cathode chemistry determine much of the battery performance and is responsible for a majority of the cost elements of a battery.
In this episode we are joined by Dr Mark Copley, Research and Development Director of FAAM to discuss all things cathode. From basic principles to the next generation of cathode materials.
