from chemistry to pack
A look at the Sodium Ion Cell Manufacturing Process, but perhaps more usefully a look at the differences compared to the lithium based cell manufacturing processes. Note: this is a work in progress as we gather information and knowledge. Hence some sections are empty because we do not know, not because there are no differences. … Read more
An initial look at the sodium ion battery pack based on what we know to date, who is about to launch products and how it compares to Lithium Ion. This will need to be extended as more information is released and hence we get a chance to do more calculations. Sodium Ion Chemistry Sodium-ion batteries … Read more
Sodium-ion cells are in the very early stages of mass production, with the first commercial systems being available for purchase in 2023. Some typical characteristics of sodium-ion cells include: The table below provides an overview of some of the companies working around Sodium-ion battery production, and details of their chosen cell designs:
Many of the battery components in both sodium-ion and lithium-ion batteries are similar due to the similarities of the two technologies. This post provides a high-level overview of sodium-ion battery materials. Cathode materials Anode materials Metallic anodes are also being researched for Na-ion batteries, although these are not yet being considered for commercial applications. Electrolytes … Read more
