Sodium-ion batteries are a cost-effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries for energy storage. Advances in cathode and anode materials enhance SIBs’ stability and performance. SIBs show promise for grid storage, renewable integration, and large-scale applications.
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.
Cathode active material for sodium-ion batteries can be produced from elements that have a high and evenly distributed availability worldwide. Sodium-ion battery (NIB) technologies are experiencing an increasing interest and offer an alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIB) for both stationary storage and mobile applications.
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered one of the most promising alternatives to LIBs in the field of stationary battery storage, as sodium (Na) is the most abundant alkali metal in the Earth’s crust, and the cell manufacturing process of SIBs is similar to that of LIBs.
