Sodium is neither</p><p>Oct 26th 2023</p><p>Excerpt: "Fortunately, lithium is not the only game in town. As we report this week, a clutch of firms are making batteries based on sodium, lithium’s elemental cousin. Since sodium’s chemical properties are very similar to those of lithium, it too makes for good batteries. And sodium, which is found in the salt in seawater, is thousands of times more abundant on Earth than lithium and cheaper to get at. Most of the companies using sodium to make batteries today are also Chinese. But pursuing the technology in the West might be a surer route to energy security than relying heavily on lithium. </p><p>"Besides its abundance, sodium has other advantages. The best lithium batteries use <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cobalt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cobalt</span></a> and 3nickel in their electrodes. Nickel, like lithium, is in short supply. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mining</span></a> it on land is <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmentally" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>environmentally</span></a> destructive. Proposals to grab it from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/seabed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>seabed</span></a> instead have caused rows. A good deal of the world’s cobalt, meanwhile, is extracted from small mines in the Democratic Republic of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Congo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Congo</span></a>, where child labour is common and working conditions are dire. Sodium batteries, by contrast, can use electrodes built from iron and manganese, which are plentiful and uncontroversial. Since the chemical components are cheap, a scaled-up industry should be able to produce batteries that cost less than their lithium counterparts. </p><p>"Sodium is not a perfect replacement for lithium. It is heavier, meaning sodium batteries will weigh more than lithium ones of an equivalent capacity. That is likely to rule them out in some cases where lightness is paramount. But for other applications, such as grid storage or home batteries, weight is irrelevant. Several Chinese carmakers are even beginning to put sodium batteries in electric vehicles.</p><p>"Perhaps the biggest disadvantage of sodium batteries is their late start. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumIon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LithiumIon</span></a> batteries were first commercialised in the 1990s and have benefited from decades of investment. But the rest of the world is behind China on both fronts anyway. America and the European Union have announced enormous programmes of green industrial subsidies. If they are determined to bankroll batteries, some of the pot should go to sodium."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.economist.com/leaders/2023/10/26/sodium-batteries-offer-an-alternative-to-tricky-lithium" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">economist.com/leaders/2023/10/</span><span class="invisible">26/sodium-batteries-offer-an-alternative-to-tricky-lithium</span></a></p><p>Archived version:<br><a href="https://archive.ph/7x6JX#" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/7x6JX#</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeepSeaMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeepSeaMining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoLithiumMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoLithiumMining</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LeaveItInTheOcean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LeaveItInTheOcean</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LeaveItInTheOcean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LeaveItInTheOcean</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumAlternatives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LithiumAlternatives</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SodiumBatteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SodiumBatteries</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewablesNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RenewablesNow</span></a></p>

French manufacturer Pi-Pop breaks from traditional electric bike design by using a power source you never need to recharge.</p><p>"The eponymous Pi-Pop electric bicycle, now in the third generation, gets riding power assistance from a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/supercapacitor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>supercapacitor</span></a> that charges while you ride. Like most electric cars, e-bikes with geared or direct drive hubs can regain energy on the go from regeneration while braking. An electric motor reverses energy flow during regeneration, directing the flow back into a battery.</p><p>"With Pi-Pop e-bikes, which do not have batteries, regeneration is the only way the onboard supercapacitor gains energy. According to the company, a rider pedaling a Pi-Pop e-bike on flat ground regenerates moderate energy by using a small portion of the rider’s pedaling power to recharge the supercapacitor. Riding the bike downhill when the rider doesn’t need to pedal as hard to maintain speed regenerates more energy than flat ground travel. Applying the Pi-Pop’s brakes restores the greatest energy to the supercapacitor.</p><p>"Supercapacitors have several advantages over batteries, primarily charging and discharging speeds and life span. Supercapacitors can store and release energy ten times faster than batteries. Rechargeable batteries have an expected cycle life of 500 to 10,000 charges, but a supercapacitor can be recharged millions of times. Batteries can deliver power over a more extended period between recharging. Still, the superior speed with which a supercapacitor recharges through regeneration can eliminate the need to plug into a power supply.<br> <br>Reliability of the Pi-Pop</p><p>"With the Pi-Pop’s supercapacitor energy regeneration system, there’s no question of range per charge because the e-bike recharges when you’re pedaling or braking. You’ll only use more energy than you regenerate when pedaling uphill.</p><p>"The Pi-Pop conforms to the European standard for Level I e-bikes, which means the maximum speed is limited to 25 KMPH (15.5 MPH) with power-assisted pedaling only. The Pi-Pop has no twist or thumb throttle, so you’ll need to pedal for power assistance. The bike’s Aikema electric motor and regenerator are rated at 250 watts and 45 Newton meters of torque. That may not seem like much power, but it’s appropriate given the bike’s roughly 48-pound weight and low-by-U.S.-standards top speed.</p><p>"You can shift through seven gears with a Shimano RevoShift shifter and a Shimano Tourney derailleur, all brand-name parts. The adjustable Zoom front fork has up to 45mm travel, which is certainly enough for a bike that won’t be used as an electric mountain bike and rock jumper. The Tektro mechanical disc brakes with 180mm disc rotors are more than adequate.</p><p>"The Pi-Pop bike is available in one size with a step-through aluminum frame in white with green accents. There are no other frame sizes, styles, or color choices. Fenders, mudflaps, a kickstand, a headlamp, and a rear rack are all standard.</p><p>"If an e-bike that never needs recharging is appealing, you can only buy the Pi-Pop at the company factory on the banks of the Loire River in Olivet, France. The price is 2,450 euros or about $2,600 U.S."</p><p><a href="https://www.themanual.com/outdoors/pi-pop-e-bike-no-battery/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">themanual.com/outdoors/pi-pop-</span><span class="invisible">e-bike-no-battery/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bicycles</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BikePower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikePower</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoLithiumMining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoLithiumMining</span></a> <br>No <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LithiumBatteries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LithiumBatteries</span></a></p>

According to Euronews, Lelièvre 'designed and patented an e-bike called <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PiPop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PiPop</span></a>, which doesn’t use lithium batteries but supercapacitors.'</p><p>"Lelièvre told Euronews, 'The system gets charged when the ride is easy and when the bike brakes—thanks to engine braking—the energy is given back when needed.'</p><p>"So, what exactly is a supercapacitor?</p><p>"A supercapacitor essentially stocks up energy in the form of a slow-moving charge, which can be released when needed. A battery stocks up energy as a chemical reaction. This means that the bike is constantly stocking up energy when ridden on easier terrain, and then using that energy when going uphill, in the form of an assist.</p><p>"According to TS2, 'Supercapacitors, which have been around since the late 1970s, offer several advantages over lithium batteries. Rather than relying on the consumption of natural resources like <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lithium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lithium</span></a> or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RareEarthElements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RareEarthElements</span></a>, supercapacitors store energy through electrostatic means.

While lithium batteries typically last five to six years, the supercapacitors in the Pi-Pop are projected to have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. This prolongs the bike’s usability, reducing waste and minimizing the environmental impact associated with battery disposal.'</p><p>"Another perk to the Pi-Pop bike is that there’s never a need to charge it when it’s stationary. You’ll never hop on the bike and realize you forgot to charge it up.</p><p>"Euronews reports that according to Lelièvre, 'We can’t innovate if we lose control of production.
