Led by Professor Byoungwoo Kang and Dr. Heetaek Park (currently, working for the Next Generation Battery Research Center at Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute) from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), a research team has successfully developed a high-energy, high-efficiency all-solid-state sodium-air battery. This battery can reversibly utilize sodium (Na) and air without requiring special equipment. The findings of this research have been published in the international journal Nature Communications.
