Takeaways:
- Researchers from the University of Bristol are making a separator from cellulose nanomaterials made from brown seaweed.
- The seaweed stops crystals from the sodium electrodes from penetrating the separator and improves the battery’s performance.
- “This work really demonstrates that greener forms of energy storage are possible without being destructive to the environment in their production,” said Professor Steve Eichhorn from the Bristol Composites Institute.
