Swedish battery materials company Altris AB, which specializes in producing highly sustainable cathode materials for rechargeable sodium batteries, has officially opened its first office in China. Altris has developed a method to produce Fennac in a form that is suited for use as a cathode material in sodium-ion batteries.

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.

Lithium-intercalation compounds and sodium-intercalation compounds are used for anode and cathode, respectively. Sodium-ion based rechargeable batteries (SIBs, e.g., earlier post ) are of interest due to sodium’s abundance, far lower prices, and a greener synthesis while maintaining a similarity in ion-insertion chemistry.

High performance is also achieved when it comes to recharging. Then there will be a need for price cuts… The good news is that the Qin EV, the Dolphin and the Seagull models are expected to be the first BYD electric cars to get versions with a sodium-ion battery later this year, which will help to cut down the prices easily.

The battery in her EV is a variation on the flow battery , a design in which spent electrolyte is replaced rather than recharged. The scientists found the nanofluids could be used in a system with an energy-storing potential approaching that of a lithium-ion battery and with the pumpable recharging of a flow battery.
