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.
Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) are attractive prospects for stationary storage applications where lifetime operational cost, not weight or volume, is the overriding factor. Recent improvements in performance, particularly in energy density, mean NIBs are reaching the level necessary to justify the exploration of commercial scale-up.
The development of supply chains with increasing production volumes via involvement of industrial manufactures definitely helps to intrinsic low-cost advantage of sodium-ion batteries to achieve the market penetration.
Significant incentives and support to encourage the establishment of large-scale sodium-ion battery manufacture in the UK. Sodium-ion batteries offer inexpensive, sustainable, safe and rapidly scalable energy storage suitable for an expanding list of applications and offer a significant business opportunity for the UK.
This technology strategy assessment on sodium batteries, released as part of the Long-Duration Storage Shot, contains the findings from the Storage Innovations (SI) 2030 strategic initiative.
As aforementioned, sodium ions demonstrate high kinetic properties due to their fast mobility and weak solvation, and hence SIBs are suitable for high power applications, especially at the low temperature. SIBs, for example, could replace lead acid batteries and supercapacitors as cranking powers in automobiles, motorcycles, cranes, and so on.
