Chery to be 1st automaker to adopt CATL's sodium-ion batteries

CN EV Post

APRIL 16, 2023

In the passenger car segment, sodium-ion batteries can generally meet the needs of models with a range of up to 400 kilometers, a CATL executive previously said. CATL's sodium-ion batteries are not far from starting to be installed in vehicles, after the Chinese power battery giant unveiled the new batteries in July 2021.

Sodium-ion batteries have been of considerable interest due to sodium’s abundance compared to lithium, which is over 500 times less common. The new battery technology addresses some of the fundamental limitations of current sodium-ion batteries , such as lower power output and longer charging times.

Expanded graphite as a superior anode for sodium-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

JUNE 8, 2014

Researchers at the University of Maryland, with colleagues at the University of Illinois at Chicago, report on a new method for expanding graphite for use as a superior anode for sodium-ion batteries in a paper in Nature Communications. Sodium (Na) is an earth-abundant and inexpensive element, and shares many properties with lithium.

A major barrier to the use of high energy capacity silicon in a lithium-ion battery is the volumetric expansion of silicon under lithiation and delithiation, which results in electrode degradation and capacity fade. Using this technique will help make battery design much more systematic, and less trial and error. Earlier post.)
