The US Argonne National Laboratory is claiming significant progress in developing sodium-ion batteries and says the chemistry ...

After decades of lithium-ion batteries dominating the market, a new option has emerged: batteries made with sodium ions.

“Sodium-ion batteries could be cheaper and easier to produce, helping reduce reliance on lithium and making battery technology more accessible worldwide.” The researchers also created a ...

It is possible to make sodium-ion batteries, although there are some design tradeoffs. But sodium is much more abundant than lithium, which makes up about 0.06% of the Earth’s crust compared to ...

A thorough analysis of market, technological, and supply chain outcomes for sodium-ion batteries finds that significant advances are needed before commercialization. Legions of battery engineers ...

Sodium-ion batteries could rival lithium-ion batteries in cost by the 2030s, according to a Stanford study. The study by Sustainability’s Precourt Institute for Energy and the SLAC-Stanford ...

lithium-ion and a host of other battery types alongside each other. For one of the up-and-coming types in the form of sodium (Na)-based batteries the same struggles are true as it attempts to hit ...

In recent years, sodium-ion batteries have emerged as a key contender to the dominant lithium-ion technology, which has experienced supply shortages and price volatility for key minerals.

One of the next-generation secondary batteries, sodium (sodium) ion batteries are emerging as a strong alternative to lithium-ion batteries. Following the supply chain instability caused by the ...

Cheap, safe, widely available sodium could be used for battery energy storage alongside photovoltaics. The Sodium-Ion-Battery Germany (SIB:DE) Research project is investigating whether sodium-ion ...
