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.
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.
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.
