A sodium-ion battery (NIB, SIB, or Na-ion battery) is a rechargeable battery that uses sodium ions (Na ) as charge carriers. In some cases, its working principle and cell construction are similar to those of lithium-ion battery (LIB) types, simply replacing lithium with sodium as the intercalating ion. Sodium belongs to the same group in the periodic table as lithium and thus has similar chemical properties. However, designs such as
Sodium-ion batteries represent a promising and sustainable alternative to Lithium-ion batteries in today''s energy storage sector. As the world anticipates lithium demand exceeding supply
Increases in the energy density of sodium-ion batteries means they are now suitable for stationary energy storage and low-performance electric vehicles. The abundance of raw material for making
