On par with lithium-ion
Nature Energy, Published online: 14 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41560-025-01718-8Cheaper and more sustainable batteries are key to decarbonize the global energy system, and sodium-ion batteries that use far fewer critical materials are an important option. Research now shows that rapidly improving techno-economics of sodium-ion batteries could soon make them competitive with lithium-ion phosphate batteries under a range of scenarios.
