Developed by an international team of interdisciplinary researchers, the material could boost the energy performance of sodium batteries.

    Sodium batteries are thermal batteries, right? So they need turbines to recover the energy into electricity?

    Are you thinking of concentrated solar, maybe?

      I think I was mixing those up with thermal energy storage and thermal batteries.

      Sodium batteries do have a high temperature type, but it does look like they are non rechargeable and do generate electricity directly. The thermal energy storage only stores thermal energy rather than electricity, but they use sand.
