Natron collaborates with Clarios on first mass manufacturing of Sodium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Natron Energy, a manufacturer of sodium-ion batteries, and Clarios International Inc., a manufacturer of low-voltage advanced battery technologies for mobility, will collaborate to manufacture the first mass-produced sodium-ion batteries. In 2021, Natron released the world’s first UL-listed sodium-ion battery product.

Novel Sodium-Ion Battery-Powered EVs To Hit Chinese Streets in January

The Truth About Cars

Today, most EVs use lithium-ion batteries, just like the phone in your pocket. A Volkswagen-funded Chinese automaker has a new type of battery that offers some benefits over lithium-ion batteries, namely cost and cold weather performance, but it’s unclear if we’ll see them in the United States.

New long-duration, extended capacity Na-Al battery design for grid storage

Green Car Congress

Researchers led by the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have extended the capacity and duration of sodium-aluminum batteries. The new sodium-based molten salt battery uses two distinct reactions. h is achieved with an estimated raw active materials cost of $7.02 of peak charge capacity.

Stanford study quantifies energetic costs of grid-scale energy storage over time; current batteries the worst performers; the need to improve cycle life by 3-10x

Green Car Congress

Benson from Stanford University and Stanford’s Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) has quantified the energetic costs of 7 different grid-scale energy storage technologies over time. We find that annual material resource production places tight limits on Li-ion, VRB and PHS development and loose limits on NaS and CAES.
