In a context of accelerating decarbonisation, manufacturers are increasingly turning to sodium batteries, a cheaper alternative to the popular lithium batteries. This technology opens the door to the massification of affordable electric cars and the efficient storage of renewable energy. But how do they work and what are their advantages?
Sodium-ion batteries are ideal for urban Electric Vehicles and grid energy storage due to their resilience and cost-effectiveness. While nickel contributes significantly to energy capacity, efforts are underway to eliminate it for further cost reduction. The goal is to achieve energy density comparable to that in lithium iron phosphate batteries.
According to Argonne Distinguished Fellow, Khalil Amine, sodium-ion batteries offer a sustainable solution for Electric Vehicles and energy storage. With further refinements in design and production, these batteries could match the performance of current Lithium-ion counterparts.
2.1. The revival of room-temperature sodium-ion batteries Due to the abundant sodium (Na) reserves in the Earth’s crust (Fig. 5 (a)) and to the similar physicochemical properties of sodium and lithium, sodium-based electrochemical energy storage holds significant promise for large-scale energy storage and grid development.
The lithium battery research activity driven in recent years has benefited the development of sodium-ion batteries. By maintaining a number of similarities with lithium-ion batteries, this type of energy storage has seen particularly rapid progress and promises to be a key advantage in their deployment.
