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.
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 currently exhibit lower energy density compared to lithium-ion batteries. According to a 2020 study from the Journal of Power Sources, the energy density of typical sodium ion batteries is around 100-150 Wh/kg, whereas lithium-ion batteries can exceed 250 Wh/kg.
Sodium-ion batteries store and deliver energy through the reversible movement of sodium ions (Na +) between the positive electrode (cathode) and the negative electrode (anode) during charge–discharge cycles.
