by Sodium-ion batteries have found substantial adoption in energy storage applications owing to their low-cost and non-toxic nature. Sodium-ion batteries utilize sodium ions as charge carriers instead of lithium ions. They have a similar layered oxide cathode and use sodium salts in the electrolyte instead of lithium salts. Sodium-ion batteries offer an economically viable and sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries, especially in large-scale energy storage for renewable energy applications such as solar and wind farms. The batteries help store excess energy generated during off-peak hours and discharge it when needed without compromising power output. Sodium is more abundant and widely available compared to lithium reserves, helping reduce battery costs substantially. Additionally, sodium-ion batteries have a larger electrolyte window, enabling them to operate at higher voltages for higher energy density.
The global Sodium-Ion Battery Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 354.78 billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
