READ MORENorthvolt notes that its sodium-ion batteries would be about a quarter cheaper than the lithium batteries used in energy storage. That said, falling lithium prices have now made cheaper sodium less attractive. Lithium carbonate, a key ingredient in most EV batteries, roughly tripled in price between November 2021 and November 2022
READ MOREReplacing lithium with sodium has one big advantage—sodium is much more common and cheaper than lithium. There is a problem: Sodium-ion batteries have thus far demonstrated relatively low energy densities and are limited in the number of charge and discharge cycles that they can withstand.
