But sodium-ion batteries have some disadvantages. The big one is low energy density compared to lithium-ion. As a result, an EV running on a sodium-ion battery will go fewer miles per charge than a lithium-ion battery of the same size. “That is just what nature has given us,” Srinivasan said.
A typical sodium-ion battery has an energy density of about 150 watt-hours per kilogram at the cell level, he said. Lithium-ion batteries can range from about 180 to nearly 300 watt-hours per kilogram. I asked Srinivasan what he makes of CATL’s claim of a sodium-ion battery with 200 watt-hours per kilogram.
Development of sodium-ion batteries has lagged behind that of lithium-ion batteries, but interest in sodium has grown in the past decade as a result of environmental concerns over the mining and shipping of lithium and its associated materials.
For example, high-temperature zero emission battery research activity (ZEBRA) cells based on Na/NiCl 2 systems and high-temperature Na–S cells , which are successful commercial cases of stationary and mobile applications , have already demonstrated the potential of sodium-based rechargeable batteries.
The process of manufacturing sodium-ion batteries is similar to that of lithium-ion batteries, or at least similar enough that companies can shift existing assembly lines without having to spend heavily on retooling. But sodium-ion batteries have some disadvantages. The big one is low energy density compared to lithium-ion.
The faster motion of a sodium ion can lead to higher power and faster charging in sodium-ion batteries. The current playbook for designing sodium-ion batteries resembles that of lithium-ion batteries. For the anode, most designs use “hard carbon,” which is like the graphite in lithium-ion batteries.
