Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are on the cusp of commercialization, with promising cost, safety, sustainability, and performance benefits when compared to lithium-ion batteries (LIB).
They can use widely available and inexpensive raw materials and existing lithium-ion production methods, promising rapid scalability.
SIBs are an attractive prospect in meeting global demand for carbon-neutral energy storage, where lifetime operational cost, not weight or volume, is the overriding factor. Increasingly sodium-ion batteries have characteristics comparable to lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, suggesting that even automotive applications are possible.
