What are sodium-ion batteries suited for?

NEXGENNA is developing next generation sodium-ion batteries (NIBs), a technology on the cusp of commercialisation that is suited to applications (such as low-cost mobility and static storage) where lifetime operational cost (not energy density or weight) is the overriding factor.

Can sodium ion batteries be used for energy storage?

2.1. The revival of room-temperature sodium-ion batteries Due to the abundant sodium (Na) reserves in the Earth’s crust (Fig. 5 (a)) and to the similar physicochemical properties of sodium and lithium, sodium-based electrochemical energy storage holds significant promise for large-scale energy storage and grid development.

What are next generation sodium ion batteries?

NEXGENNA is developing next generation sodium-ion batteries (NIBs). These batteries are suited to applications where lifetime operational cost is the overriding factor, such as low-cost mobility and static storage. NIBs are a technology on the cusp of commercialisation.

Are sodium ion batteries a sustainable alternative?

Conversely, sodium-ion batteries provide a more sustainable alternative due to the tremendous abundance of salt in our oceans, thereby potentially providing a lower-cost alternative to the rapidly growing demand for energy storage. Currently most sodium-ion batteries contain a liquid electrolyte, which has a fundamental flammability risk.

Are sodium-ion batteries a viable alternative for EES systems?

Due to the wide availability and low cost of sodium resources, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are regarded as a promising alternative for next-generation large-scale EES systems.

How can we overcome the challenges of sodium-ion batteries?

In this way, the challenges of both the performance and economics of sodium-ion batteries can be overcome by combining novel materials, processes, and products with advanced material recovery, repurposing, and recycling.
