- Increasing concerns regarding the sustainability of lithium sources, due to their limited availability and consequent expected price increase, have raised awareness of the importance of developing alternative energy-storage candidates that can sustain the ever-growing energy demand. Furthermore, limitations on the availability of the transition metals used in the manufacturing of cathode materials, together with questionable mining practices, are driving development towards more sustainable elements. Given the uniformly high abundance and cost-effectiveness of sodium, as well as its very suitable redox potential (close to that of lithium), sodium-ion battery technology offers tremendous potential to be a counterpart to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in different application scenarios, such as stationary energy storage and low-cost vehicles. This potential is reflected by the major investments that are being made by industry in a wide variety of markets and in diverse material combinations. Despite the associated advantages of being a drop-in replacement for LIBs, there are remarkable differences in the physicochemical properties between sodium and lithium that give rise to different behaviours, for example, different coordination preferences in compounds, desolvation energies, or solubility of the solid-electrolyte interphase inorganic salt components. This demands a more detailed study of the underlying physical and chemical processes occurring in sodium-ion batteries and allows great scope for groundbreaking advances in the field, from lab-scale to scale-up. This roadmap provides an extensive review by experts in academia and industry of the current state of the art in 2021 and the different research directions and strategies currently underway to improve the performance of sodium-ion batteries. The aim is to provide an opinion with respect to the current challenges and opportunities, from the fundamental properties to the practical applications of this technology.

- The Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) developed by Ettus research is emerging as one of the most promising hardware solution for building a Software Defined Radio (SDR) platform. Originally designed for supporting GNU radio, it can also be interfaced to customized C++ code, thus allowing a higher degree of flexibility in the design of the transceiver chain. In this paper we describe the implementation of a coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transceiver running over USRP2 boards. The baseband processing and the radio-frequency settings are designed for coping with a local area scenario as well as with the physical capabilities of the USRP2 boards. Moreover, a simple subcarrier blinding algorithm is proposed with the aim of compensating the common phase error in the symbol constellation due to the limited nominal accuracy of the local oscillators. Performance results show the effectiveness of the proposed architecture and settings for achieving Block Error Rate (BLER) results below 1% at 12 dB of Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) without requiring a high precision reference clock.

- Sodium-ion batteries based on Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) are ideal for large-scale energy storage applications due to the ability to meet the huge volumes and low costs required. For Na2-xFe[Fe(CN)(6)](1-y)center dot zH(2)O, realizing its commercial potential means fine control of the concentration of sodium, Fe(CN)(6) vacancies, and water content. To date, there is a huge variation in the literature of composition leading to variable electrochemical performance. In this work, we break down the synthesis of PBAs into three steps for controlling the sodium, vacancy, and water content via an inexpensive, scalable synthesis method. We produce rhombohedral Prussian white Na1.88(5)Fe[Fe-(CN)(6)]center dot 0.18(9)H2O with an initial capacity of 158 mAh/g retaining 90% capacity after 50 cycles. Subsequent characterization revealed that the increased polarization on the 3 V plateau is coincident with a phase transition and reduced utilization of the high-spin Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couple. This reveals a clear target for subsequent improvements of the material to boost long-term cycling stability. These results will be of great interest for the myriad of applications of PBAs, such as catalysis, magnetism, electrochromics, and gas sorption.
