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.
Moreover, new developments in sodium battery materials have enabled the adoption of high-voltage and high-capacity cathodes free of rare earth elements such as Li, Co, Ni, offering pathways for low-cost NIBs that match their lithium counterparts in energy density while serving the needs for large-scale grid energy storage.
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.
Table 6. 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.
Innovations in electrolytes and cell designs improve cycle life and Coulombic efficiency. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are emerging as a viable alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to their cost-effectiveness, abundance of sodium resources, and lower environmental impact.
This economic advantage positions sodium batteries as a viable alternative for energy storage solutions that prioritize sustainability and affordability over compactness and high energy density.
