Sodium-ion battery technology is one new technology to emerge. In terms of an electric vehicle battery, sodium beats lithium on availability and cost. Performance has been the challenge, with one hurdle being weight. Sodium and lithium are atomic neighbors, but the atomic weight of sodium is 3.3 times that of lithium.
Chinese battery giant CATL reportedly plans to begin mass-producing them in 2023. Sodium-ion batteries may not improve performance, but they could cut costs because they rely on cheaper, more widely available materials than lithium-ion chemistries do.
The New York Times says a switchover to sodium-ion batteries may make China’s control over battery manufacturing even greater. Of the 20 sodium battery factories now planned or already under construction around the world, 16 are in China, according to Benchmark Minerals, a consulting firm.
Of the 20 sodium battery factories now planned or already under construction around the world, 16 are in China, according to Benchmark Minerals, a consulting firm. In two years, China will have nearly 95 percent of the world’s capacity to make sodium batteries.
In two years, China will have nearly 95 percent of the world’s capacity to make sodium batteries. Lithium battery production will still dwarf sodium battery output at that point, Benchmark predicts, but advances in sodium are accelerating. There is one problem for China, however when it comes to manufacturing sodium batteries.
Prices for cars equipped with sodium-ion batteries have not yet been announced. The New York Times points out that because sodium-ion batteries have lower energy densities, more of them are needed to equal the energy capacity of lithium-ion batteries. That means more space is needed for a given amount of energy.

A type of battery invented by an Australian professor in the 1980s is being touted as the next big technology for grid energy storage. Here''s how it works.
