French researchers have announced a prototype of an 18650 sodium-ion battery. If you’ve bought a powerful LED flashlight, a rechargeable battery pack, or a–ahem–stronger than usual LASER ...

Perhaps sodium-ion batteries will rule the battery roost someday, ousting lithium-ion as the preferred variety. After all, the list of positives is quite long and certainly justifies further ...

Projections from BNEF suggest that sodium-ion batteries could reach pack densities of nearly 150 watt-hours per kilogram by 2025. And some battery giants and automakers in China think the ...

In the new study, researchers from MIT, University of Southern Denmark and University of Copenhagen, have found a new way to make the sodium-ion battery more energy efficient. Last year a sodium ...

The global sodium-ion battery market share is projected to be valued at USD 369.69 million in 2024 and reach USD 914.67 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 16.3% according to a new report by The ...

Last month, sodium-ion battery manufacturer Natron Energy announced it would open a “gigafactory” in North Carolina that would produce 24 gigawatt hours of batteries annually, enough energy to ...

The largest Chinese battery manufacturer - Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (CATL) - has announced today the first generation of sodium-ion batteries. The sodium-ion batteries are not new ...

However, sodium-ion battery production is growing and is projected to reach 140 gigawatt-hours by 2030, about 13 times its current level, according to Benchmark. Lithium-ion production also is ...

CATL showed a 160 Wh/kg sodium-ion battery in 2021 and has plans to increase that density over 200 Wh/kg to better meet the needs of electric vehicles.

CATL’s high-voltage sodium-ion battery gets an energy density of 175 watt-hours per kilogram. That’s below the 200–300 Wh/kg range typical of lithium-ion batteries, but it’s enough to ...

The Department of Energy will spend $50 million during the next five years to develop sodium-ion battery compositions. Sodium-ion batteries hold the promise of inexpensive raw materials but offer ...
