Sodium-ion technology offers a promising, competitive alternative to commercial lithium-ion batteries for various applications. Sodium-ion batteries offer advantages in terms of sustainability as well as readily available and environmentally friendly raw materials. They also score highly in terms of safety and temperature resilience.
Much of the attraction to sodium (Na) batteries as candidates for large-scale energy storage stems from the fact that as the sixth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and the fourth most abundant element in the ocean, it is an inexpensive and globally accessible commodity.
Sodium-ion batteries (NaIBs) were initially developed at roughly the same time as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in the 1980s; however, the limitations of charge/discharge rate, cyclability, energy density, and stable voltage profiles made them historically less competitive than their lithium-based counterparts .
Both the functional principle and the manufacturing and process chains are almost identical to those of the well-known lithium-ion technology. For this reason, sodium-ion batteries are referred to as a drop-in technology – a high entry-level technology readiness level (TRL) therefore enables promising application scenarios in the future.
