Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries, currently dominating the rechargeable battery market for electric vehicles and energy storage systems (ESS).
South Korea’s three battery makers – LG Energy Solution Ltd., SK On Co. and Samsung SDI Co. – have begun developing SIBs, also known as Na-ion batteries (NIBs), industry sources said on Monday.
According to a recent Bloomberg News report, battery giants have started putting their money on new sodium-based technology, a sign that there could be yet another shakeup in the industry so crucial for the global energy transition.
