  • Legions of battery engineers and their supporters have sought for years to build batteries cheaper than the dominant lithium-ion technology, hoping to capture some of lithium-ion's $50 billion-a-year and growing market.

The article from MSN discusses the challenges and potential of sodium-ion batteries as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries. Despite sodium being more abundant and cheaper than lithium, sodium-ion batteries currently lag in performance, particularly in energy density, which is crucial for applications like electric vehicles (EVs). Researchers are exploring various strategies to improve sodium-ion technology, including new materials for electrodes and electrolytes, and optimizing the battery's structure to enhance ion movement. However, significant breakthroughs are needed for sodium-ion batteries to compete effectively with lithium-ion batteries in terms of energy density, cycle life, and overall efficiency. The article highlights that while there is progress, sodium-ion batteries still require substantial advancements to become a viable, widespread alternative in the energy storage market.
