Get StartedSodium-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.
This economic advantage positions sodium batteries as a viable alternative for energy storage solutions that prioritize sustainability and affordability over compactness and high energy density.
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.
Sodium-ion batteries have less energy density in comparison with lithium-ion batteries, primarily due to the higher atomic mass and larger ionic radius of sodium. This affects the overall capacity and energy output of the batteries. The larger size of sodium ions restricts the choice of compatible electrode materials.
a) Grid Storage and Large-Scale Energy Storage. One of the most compelling reasons for using sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) in grid storage is the abundance and cost effectiveness of sodium. Sodium is the sixth most rich element in the Earth's crust, making it significantly cheaper and more sustainable than lithium.
Similar to lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries are prone to dendrite formation during charging, which can lead to short circuits and potential thermal runaway, leading to fires. Many electrolytes used in sodium-ion batteries are not stable at the required operating voltages.
