Sodium-ion batteries are an emerging battery technology with promising cost, safety, sustainability and performance advantages over current commercialised lithium-ion batteries. Key advantages include the use of widely available and inexpensive raw materials and a rapidly scalable technology based around existing lithium-ion production methods.
Sodium-ion batteries are an appealing alternative to lithium-ion batteries because they use raw materials that are less expensive, more abundant and less toxic. The background leading to such promises is carefully assessed in terms of cell and battery production, as well as raw material supply risks, for sodium-ion and modern lithium-ion batteries.
Cathode for a sodium ion battery can be developed from oxides and polyanions like phosphates, flurosulphates, mixed phosphates and organic compounds . During intercalation these materials face minimal formation change, continuous structural change is inevitable while sodium ion intercalation is happening in the electrodes.
The demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has been increasing since their commercialization in 1991 and their widespread use in portable electronics 1 – 6. LIBs contain two electrodes; the anode is typically made of graphite and the cathode is usually a layered transition metal oxide.
However, by the 1990s, lithium-ion batteries had demonstrated more commercial promise, causing interest in sodium-ion batteries to decline. In the early 2010s, sodium-ion batteries experienced a resurgence, driven largely by the increasing cost of lithium-ion battery raw materials.
The demands for Sodium-ion batteries for energy storage applications are increasing due to the abundance availability of sodium in the earth’s crust dragging this technology to the front raw. Furthermore, researchers are developing efficient Na-ion batteries with economical price and high safety compared to lithium to replace Lithium-ion batteries.
