    Deakin University researchers, in collaboration with University of Queensland, have developed a new non-flammable electrolyte material for use in sodium batteries, which provides a safer and cheaper alternative to lithium-ion batteries.

    Electrolytes in traditional lithium and sodium batteries are commonly flammable, so this breakthrough – published this month in the prestigious journal Nature Materials – paves the way for a new critical material for safer batteries.
