Sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging as one of the most promising candidates for large-scale energy storage due to the abundance of sodium.
Sodium-ion batteries offer advantages in terms of sustainability as well as readily available and environmentally friendly raw materials. They also score highly in terms of safety and temperature resilience. Both the functional principle and the manufacturing and process chains are almost identical to those of the well-known lithium-ion technology.
From ESS News Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are considered a promising alternative to lithium-ion devices because sodium is a non-critical, inexpensive, and readily available raw material that is classified as particularly safe. The first large-scale energy storage facilities based on the technology are already operating in China.
Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials Research (IFAM), in Bremen, says a SIB:DE research consortium, comprised of industry representatives and academics, is studying whether sodium-ion technology can be affordably and efficiently retrofitted into lithium-ion battery production lines.
Both the functional principle and the manufacturing and process chains are almost identical to those of the well-known lithium-ion technology. For this reason, sodium-ion batteries are referred to as a drop-in technology – a high entry-level technology readiness level (TRL) therefore enables promising application scenarios in the future.
Sodium-ion technology offers a promising, competitive alternative to commercial lithium-ion batteries for various applications. Sodium-ion batteries offer advantages in terms of sustainability as well as readily available and environmentally friendly raw materials. They also score highly in terms of safety and temperature resilience.
