In the passenger car segment, sodium-ion batteries can generally meet the needs of models with a range of up to 400 kilometers, a CATL executive previously said. CATL's sodium-ion batteries are not far from starting to be installed in vehicles, after the Chinese power battery giant unveiled the new batteries in July 2021.

The project consists in extracting brine from the salar and processing it into lithium carbonate. Purification of the lithium, then reaction with sodium carbonate to convert it to lithium carbonate. To further concentrate the metal obtained, two successive processes are then conducted: nanofiltration and reverse osmosis.

In addition, about 90% of the world’s supply of lithium is controlled by Chinese companies. Video: EV Guru: Sodium-Ion Batteries are Coming Sooner Than You think! The mining industry cannot keep up with the demand, so the alternative is to manufacture batteries based on sodium chemistry. They both are alkaline metals.
