Sodium-ion technology in energy storage

The ability to retain excess energy production is key to maximising the benefits of renewable generation.

As storage technologies continue to evolve, we explore the factors driving the rise of sodium-ion batteries as a compelling alternative to traditional lithium-ion systems.

The rise of sodium-ion batteries

Sodium-ion batteries have been under development since the 1970s and early 1980s. However, lithium-ion batteries, with their ability to store more energy per unit weight than their sodium-ion counterparts, were found to be ideal for applications where energy density is critical, making them a more attractive option for early development.
