Cheap and abundant, sodium is a promising candidate for new battery technology. However, the limited performance of sodium-ion batteries has hindered large-scale application. Sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) have attracted worldwide attention for next-generation energy storage systems. A paper on the work appears in Nature Energy.

Sodium-ion batteries have been of considerable interest due to sodium’s abundance compared to lithium, which is over 500 times less common. The new battery technology addresses some of the fundamental limitations of current sodium-ion batteries , such as lower power output and longer charging times.

In a paper in Nature Materials , a team of researchers from BASF SE and Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen report on the performance of a sodium-air (sodium superoxide) cell. Their work, they suggest, demonstrates that substitution of lithium by sodium may offer an unexpected route towards rechargeable metal–air batteries.
