Can sodium-ion batteries replace lithium-ion ones?

Sodium-ion batteries avoid the need for critical materials such as lithium

This seems a very interesting development whilst I don’t think they will completely replace lithium batteries they are obviously much cheaper raw material and if you only require travelling shorter distances can Cover you and are quicker to charge .

I also believe a hybrid battery can be made so you just use sodium ion in your day to day and lithium for longer distances.They are also are more durable.

What Are Sodium-Ion Batteries, and Could They Replace Lithium?

It turns out like everything else it just needed more salt.

Just have a think is a good channel about green technologies that have covered those types of batteries.



While for energy storage you are not limited by weight or size so in that sector there are also advancement in other types of batteries.

Sodium-ion does demonstrate a significant improvement in energy density over lithium-ion, on the same level as zinc-air batteries. The energy density of sodium-ion appears to be in the 396 to 451 Wh/kg range, while lithium-ion ranges between 90 and 243 Wh/kg. So that is a significant improvement.

However, it still pales in comparison to the energy density of fossil fuels. Gasoline, for example, has an energy density of 12,888.9 Wh/kg, or 28.5 times more than the best sodium-ion battery. No matter how much you improve batteries, they will never be able to replace the energy density we get from fossil fuels.
