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.

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.

Researchers at Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany, have improved the performance of sodium-ion batteries ( earlier post ) by using tailor-made carbon materials with hierarchical porosity for the anode instead of common carbon-based anode materials.

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. Silicon (shown in grey) is capable of holding 10 times as many lithium ions (shown in pink) as currently-used anodes.
