Sodium-sulfur batteries, also known as Na-S batteries, are a type of energy storage system that uses a molten mixture of sodium and sulfur as the electrolyte. A new battery has been developed that boasts four times the capacity of lithium batteries, and at a more affordable cost.
“Our sodium battery has the potential to dramatically reduce costs while providing four times as much storage capacity. This is a significant breakthrough for renewable energy development which, although it reduces costs in the long term, has had several financial barriers to entry,” said lead researcher Dr. Zhao.
The battery has four times the energy capacity of lithium-ion batteries and is much cheaper to produce. The team used sodium-sulfur, a type of molten salt that can be extracted from seawater, to create the battery, making it a more cost-effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries.
After all, the race to power a sustainable future is as much about bold ideas as it is about overcoming the obstacles in their path. CATL has introduced sodium-ion batteries with a potential cost reduction to $10/kWh, using sodium’s abundance and safety to address energy storage challenges.
Although sodium-sulfur (Na-S) batteries have existed for more than half a century, they have been an inferior alternative and their widespread use has been limited by low energy capacity and short life cycles.
CATL has introduced sodium-ion batteries with a potential cost reduction to $10/kWh, using sodium’s abundance and safety to address energy storage challenges. Sodium-ion batteries are a sustainable alternative to lithium-ion technology, offering lower costs, inherent safety, and suitability for EVs and renewable energy systems.
