Recent Progress and Prospects on Sodium-Ion Battery and All-Solid-State Sodium Battery: A Promising Choice of Future Batteries for Energy Storage At present, in response to the call of the green and renewable energy industry, electrical energy storage systems have been vigorously developed and supported.
a) Grid Storage and Large-Scale Energy Storage. One of the most compelling reasons for using sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) in grid storage is the abundance and cost effectiveness of sodium. Sodium is the sixth most rich element in the Earth's crust, making it significantly cheaper and more sustainable than lithium.
Sodium-ion batteries store and deliver energy through the reversible movement of sodium ions (Na +) between the positive electrode (cathode) and the negative electrode (anode) during charge–discharge cycles.
Moreover, all-solid-state sodium batteries (ASSBs), which have higher energy density, simpler structure, and higher stability and safety, are also under rapid development. Thus, SIBs and ASSBs are both expected to play important roles in green and renewable energy storage applications.
One of the main attractions of sodium-ion batteries is their cost-effectiveness. The abundance of sodium contributes to lower production costs, paving the way for more affordable energy storage solutions. Furthermore, recent advancements have improved their energy density.
As research and development efforts continue in academia, national laboratories, and industry, widespread use of safe, cost-effective molten sodium batteries as well as implementation of new sodium ion-based batteries are expected to be important elements of the evolving energy storage community.
