Given the expected supply deficits of lithium, cobalt and nickel, the battery industry has been exploring alternatives. Sodium-ion batteries are considered as one of the most promising options.
Sodium-ion will typically employ carbon in the anode and materials from a category known as Prussian Blue in the cathode. There are “a series of metals that can be used on Prussian Blue, and it will vary depending on the company,” according to Venkat Srinivasan, director of US-based Argonne Collaborative Center for Energy Storage Science (ACCESS).
DG Innovate plc (LON:DGI) is an advanced research and development company pioneering sustainable and environmentally considerate improvements to electric mobility and storage, using abundant materials and the best engineering and scientific practices. DGI is currently developing its products alongside a number of major manufacturers across the transportation and energy sectors, research institutions and the UK Government and has filed 18 patents worldwide.
