Meanwhile, Argonne notes that stationary energy storage is another ripe market for sodium-ion batteries. Sure enough, over at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory another kind of sodium battery is taking shape, which deploys a combination of aluminum and sodium in the form of a molten salt.
Sodium-ion batteries also retain charging performance in sub-freezing temperatures, the lab observes. Another factor helping to push sodium-ion batteries into the market at a relatively rapid pace is their compatibility with existing lithium-ion battery manufacturing and battery management systems.
Though sodium batteries generally have a shorter driving range than their lithium-ion counterparts, they can still offer low-cost electrification solutions for situations in which a more expensive, premium battery is not worth the extra cost.
The first factory has about a 40 GWH per year capacity. China has 16 out of 20 globally planned or built sodium battery factories according to Benchmark Minerals. CATL’s first-generation sodium battery generates 160-watt-hours per kilogram. This is 10% less energy than iron LFP batteries and 40% less than mass produced nickel batteries.
He expects that sodium-ion batteries will be more common in low-cost EVs for people who live in cities or suburbs and don’t place a high premium on driving range. “It will not be a fringe player,” he said, about sodium-ion.
One key area of interest is sodium, the earth-abundant ingredient that makes up about 40% of simple table salt. Sodium is heavy, though. So is salt, for that matter. Nevertheless, sodium batteries are relatively inexpensive and free from thorny supply chain issues, and they are beginning to bust into the mainstream market.
