Since grid-scale electrical energy storage requires hundreds of gigawatt-hours to be stored, the batteries for this application must be inexpensive, robust, safe and sustainable. Such a system would create a minimal impact on the environment, and would likely be cheap, they figured. Bo Yang, Lena Hoober-Burkhardt, Fang Wanga, G.

The big issue with sodium-ion batteries is that they can store only about two-thirds of the energy of Li-ion batteries of equivalent size. During charging, Na ions move from a sodium- and iron-containing cathode through a liquid electrolyte and across a polymer barrier to a hard carbon anode. Also sodium is universally available.

But so far, their commercialization is limited to large-scale uses such as storing energy on the grid. Abundant and cheap, and with similar chemical properties as lithium, sodium is a promising replacement for lithium in next-generation batteries. Sodium-ion batteries just don't have the oomph needed for EVs and laptops.
