Technical FAQs 4

Are sodium-ion batteries a cost-effective energy storage solution?

Sodium-ion batteries are rapidly emerging as a promising solution for cost-effective energy storage. What Are Sodium-Ion Batteries? Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) represent a significant shift in energy storage technology. Unlike Lithium-ion batteries, which rely on scarce lithium, SIBs use abundant sodium for the cathode material.

Are sodium-ion batteries a potential eV energy storage source?

Despite lower energy density than lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries present a potential for EV energy storage needs. Evidently, some prominent companies are heavily researching this energy source and its storage. In fact, many of them are already bringing Sodium-ion batteries to the market.

Can sodium ion batteries be used for energy storage?

Although the company primarily aims to use sodium-ion batteries for energy storage systems, it also explores potential applications in various areas such as electric bicycles, low-speed electric vehicles, communication base stations, data centers, home energy storage, and large-scale energy storage.

Are sodium ion batteries a good choice?

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.
