A sodium-ion battery (NIB, SIB, or Na-ion battery) is a rechargeable battery that uses sodium ions (Na ) as charge carriers. However, by the 1990s, lithium-ion batteries had demonstrated more commercial promise, causing interest in sodium-ion batteries to. SIB cells consist of a based on a sodium-based material, an (not necessarily a sodium-based material) and a liquid containing dissociated sodium salts in
Due to the physical and electrochemical properties of sodium, SIBs require different materials from those used for LIBs. Anodes
University of Chicago/UC San DiegoIn July 2024, the University of Chicago and UC San Diego developed an anode-free sodium that they claimed was cheaper, safer, fast.
