Successfully manufactured high performance sodium-ion battery

French scientists have successfully developed a battery that uses sodium ion to meet industry standard 18650. The new battery will be cheaper and offer more performance than current lithium-ion batteries.

Produces cheaper and more efficient batteries than lithium-ion batteries

Liliputing, led by the French National Center for Scientific Research, said it has successfully developed a prototype of the sodium-ion battery that provides better performance and longevity than lithium-ion batteries. This could pave the way for the future commercialization of sodium-ion batteries.

Having the same operating principle as the lithium-ion battery, the sodium ions in the new battery also move from one electrode to another in a liquid solvent environment to generate electricity.

The advantage of sodium material is cheaper and more popular than lithium but the limiting point is that it has heavier weight. This means that the technology of sodium-ion batteries will be difficult to be realized on mobile phones, tablets, laptops ... devices tend to be light, thin and compact. than. Instead, the technology can be applied to electric cars and other large-scale devices.

Sodium-ion batteries can also be used to store energy from solar collectors, wind power plants for use in the case of low light or low winds.
