The ever-increasing energy demand and concerns on scarcity of lithium minerals drive the development of sodium ion batteries which are regarded as promising options apart from lithium ion batteries for energy storage technologies.
Challenges and Limitations of Sodium-Ion Batteries. Sodium-ion batteries have less energy density in comparison with lithium-ion batteries, primarily due to the higher atomic mass and larger ionic radius of sodium. This affects the overall capacity and energy output of the batteries.
Should patents and related knowhow from universities and institutes be exploited and collaborations with the industry be strengthened, the technological development would be intensively prompt via the involvement of industrial manufactures, and sodium ion battery technology shall step into maturity stage with market penetration.
a) Grid Storage and Large-Scale Energy Storage. One of the most compelling reasons for using sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) in grid storage is the abundance and cost effectiveness of sodium. Sodium is the sixth most rich element in the Earth's crust, making it significantly cheaper and more sustainable than lithium.
Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs, SIBs, or Na-ion batteries) are several types of rechargeable batteries, which use sodium ions (Na +) as their charge carriers. In some cases, its working principle and cell construction are similar to those of lithium-ion battery (LIB) types, but it replaces lithium with sodium as the intercalating ion.
Applications most suited for Sodium-Ion batteries Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are gaining attention as a viable alternative to lithium-ion batteries owing to their potential for lower costs and more sustainable material sources.
