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 ...

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

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 ...

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

Sodium-ion batteries have long been seen as the next option on the technology drawing board, given the abundance of salt and ability to easily drop sodium tech into lithium battery manufacturing ...

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 ...
