Leaving Water in Sodium-Ion Batteries Nearly Doubles Their Energy Storage

Keeping water in sodium-ion battery cathodes nearly doubles energy storage capacity
Water expands cathode layers, giving sodium ions more room to move during charging
Hydrated batteries maintained stability for over 400 charge cycles
Material also works as a desalination electrode, potentially producing fresh water
Could lower manufacturing costs by eliminating energy-intensive drying steps
