Summary:
Sodium-ion batteries are considered potentially safer, more cost-effective, and more secure from a supply-chain perspective than certain lithium-ion battery technologies. They are increasingly recognized as a viable energy storage solution capable of enhancing the reliability and affordability of the electric grid for specific applications. The Sodium-ion Alliance, through a coordinated effort encompassing multiple national laboratories, academic institutions, and industry partners, is dedicated to the development and demonstration of large-format sodium-ion batteries that deliver superior safety, high energy density, and long cycle life for grid-scale energy storage applications. In this talk, we will provide a high-level overview of recent progress.
