Are sodium-ion batteries sustainable?
Particularly with regard to the supply chains, which in the case of lithium are mostly dominated by Asian companies, sodium-ion batteries can play an important role in sustainably covering European battery requirements and ensuring supply. However, the first Chinese manufacturers of sodium-ion batteries are already on the market.
Can China make a sodium ion battery?
However, the first Chinese manufacturers of sodium-ion batteries are already on the market. The ‘SIB:DE FORSCHUNG’ project will identify active materials “that can be produced in a scalable way and offer competitive cell performance.”
What is sodium ion technology?
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.
Why are sodium ion batteries so popular?
It is no secret why sodium-ion batteries are interesting: Unlike lithium, sodium is considered a non-critical raw material, is readily available, inexpensive and considered very safe.
