Learn what sodium-ion batteries are, how they compare to lithium-ion, and whether they could become the future of energy storage.

Sodium faded into the background. So it was surprising this summer when China’s CATL, one of the world’s largest battery makers, announced sodium would play a role in the electrified future.

The Blue Rack is the world’s first sodium-ion battery cabinet designed for mission-critical applications such as data centers, peak power-shaving, and other industrial power environments.

Sodium-ion batteries could squeeze their way into some corners of the battery market as soon as the end of this year, and they could be huge in cutting costs for EVs.

Battery giants are starting to put their money on new sodium-based technology, a sign that there could be yet another shakeup in the industry that’s crucial for the energy transition.

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have emerged as a promising class of materials for sodium‐ion battery electrodes. Their distinctive open framework, which comprises mixed‐metal hexacyanoferrates ...

Peak Energy, an energy-storage startup, received $55 million in funding to scale up production of sodium-ion batteries that the company is positioning as an alternative to the widely used lithium ...

Alternative battery technologies, such as sodium-ion, lithium-sulfur, solid-state, and silicon anode batteries, are being explored as sustainable replacements for lithium-ion batteries in electric ...

Sodium has a lower energy density than lithium. Adjust for that factor and sodium’s true price advantage looks closer to 10 per cent versus currently popular lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.

Lithium is expensive and limited, necessitating the development of efficient energy storage systems beyond lithium-ion batteries. Sodium is a promising candidate. However, sodium ions, being large ...
