Grid Recharge Renewable Sodium 
Green Car Congress
JULY 14, 2022
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.

Stanford researchers have developed a sodium-ion battery (SIB) that can store the same amount of energy as a state-of-the-art lithium ion, at substantially lower cost. The rise of renewable solar and wind power is demanding sustainable storage technologies using components that are inexpensive, Earth-abundant and environmental friendly.
