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.
The demands for Sodium-ion batteries for energy storage applications are increasing due to the abundance availability of sodium in the earth’s crust dragging this technology to the front raw. Furthermore, researchers are developing efficient Na-ion batteries with economical price and high safety compared to lithium to replace Lithium-ion batteries.
Sodium-ion batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that work in a similar way to lithium batteries, but carry the charge using sodium ions (Na+) instead of lithium ions (Li+). Sodium is a silvery, soft alkaline metal that is very abundant in nature - it can be found, for example, in sea salt or in the earth's crust.
Conversion reaction involves the chemical transformation of one or more atomic species within a host lattice to form a new compound. Conversion materials have high theoretical value due to this it is considered high potential anode materials for Sodium ion batteries.
When the battery is charged, the sodium ions return to the anode until a predetermined end-of-charge voltage is reached. Sodium-ion batteries offer a versatile and economically viable option by relying on an alkaline metal so abundant on Earth and with relatively low production costs.
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?
