Sodium-Ion (Na-Ion)
About As the cost and availability of Lithium is an issue, the search for alternate materials is going on Sodium is an alternate material which is cheaper and more abundant in nature Technology Description The Na-Ion batteries use (Na) Sodium as the cathode instead of Li They are cheaper and more abundant but lose out on energy density The cells are more durable in nature Type of anode material (hard carbon) used for these types of cells is different due to the different size of molecules The general details on this type of cell whose research is being done by Faradion Parameter Comment Voltages (V) 4.3 Energy Density (Wh/kg) >140 Cycling (C-rate) 0.1 to 2 Temperature Range ( 0 C) -20 to 60 References https://www.freepatentsonline.com/WO2017073066A1.pdf https://www.faradion.co.uk/technology-benefits/strong-performance/
