Get a quoteSodium-ion batteries are rapidly emerging as a promising solution for cost-effective energy storage. What Are Sodium-Ion Batteries? Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) represent a significant shift in energy storage technology. Unlike Lithium-ion batteries, which rely on scarce lithium, SIBs use abundant sodium for the cathode material.
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.
Conversely, sodium-ion batteries provide a more sustainable alternative due to the tremendous abundance of salt in our oceans, thereby potentially providing a lower-cost alternative to the rapidly growing demand for energy storage. Currently most sodium-ion batteries contain a liquid electrolyte, which has a fundamental flammability risk.
One of the main attractions of sodium-ion batteries is their cost-effectiveness. The abundance of sodium contributes to lower production costs, paving the way for more affordable energy storage solutions. Furthermore, recent advancements have improved their energy density.
As research and development efforts continue in academia, national laboratories, and industry, widespread use of safe, cost-effective molten sodium batteries as well as implementation of new sodium ion-based batteries are expected to be important elements of the evolving energy storage community.
A $50 million consortium will develop sodium-ion batteries that will be a more sustainable and lower-cost alternative to lithium-ion technology and begin to foster an industrial ecosystem for sodium-ion batteries in the U.S.
