@yogthos Perhaps better applied to longer range, backup applications.
#SodiumIon #Batteries have far more overlapping value to equally critical infrastructure, with less invasive mineral mining than lithium, its current global competitor.

https://hackaday.com/2026/04/27/why-solid-state-batteries-short/ supposedly solid state batteries aren't as safe and solid as claimed.
Dendritic growth and mechanical stress is worse due to the inflexible nature, causing these to short out while charging similar to older lithium batteries.

@nickofnz How many of these minerals are becoming less necessary, with tech like #SodiumIon #Batteries going global, better cold weather performance and just as energy intensive as their competitors?

#SodiumIon #batteries hit the Midwestern grid in first-of-its-kind pilot in Wisconsin
Simpler design could make a meaningful dent in the cost of storing #electricity
According to #PeakEnergy cuts lifetime cost of stored energy by an average of $70 per KWh. Half cost of #battery today. Achieves savings by removing energy-hungry cooling, eliminating routine maintenance requirements, and reducing need to overbuild storage capacity to account for battery degradation over time

@urlyman Thorium Molten Salt Reactors, like China is having continued success with, provides high industrial level heat that's conducive to EV production. #TMSR also lends itself to #desalination, #SodiumIon batteries, #hydrogen and #ammonia production, medical isotopes, and even localized air conditioning because of high heat production in #MSR.
China's #BeltAndRoadInitiative is far more sustainable than most of the West's profit mongering.

#SodiumIonBatteries offer an alternative to tricky #lithium
Oct 26th 2023
Excerpt: "Fortunately, lithium is not the only game in town. As we report this week, a clutch of firms are making batteries based on sodium, lithium’s elemental cousin. Since sodium’s chemical properties are very similar to those of lithium, it too makes for good batteries. And sodium, which is found in the salt in #seawater, is thousands of times more abundant on Earth than lithium and cheaper to get at. Most of the companies using sodium to make batteries today are also Chinese. But pursuing the technology in the West might be a surer route to energy security than relying heavily on lithium.
"Besides its abundance, sodium has other advantages. The best lithium batteries use #cobalt and #nickel in their electrodes. Nickel, like lithium, is in short supply. #Mining it on land is #EnvironmentallyDestructive. Proposals to grab it from the #seabed instead have caused rows. A good deal of the world’s cobalt, meanwhile, is extracted from small mines in the #DemocraticRepublicOfCongo, where #ChildLabour is common and working conditions are dire. Sodium batteries, by contrast, can use #electrodes built from #iron and #manganese [and wood #lignin], which are plentiful and uncontroversial. Since the chemical components are cheap, a scaled-up industry should be able to produce batteries that cost less than their lithium counterparts.
"Sodium is not a perfect replacement for lithium. It is heavier, meaning sodium batteries will weigh more than lithium ones of an equivalent capacity. That is likely to rule them out in some cases where lightness is paramount. But for other applications, such as #GridStorage or #HomeBatteries, weight is irrelevant. Several Chinese carmakers are even beginning to put sodium batteries in #ElectricVehicles."

Fast-charging #SodiumIon battery uses anodes made from trees
By C.C. Weiss
June 09, 2024"A month after #NatronEnergy began its first-of-kind sodium-ion battery mass production, Swedish sodium-ion developer #Altris has identified a means of making the LithiumFree batteries even more sustainable. Together with partner #StoraEnso, it's adapting tree pulp-sourced carbon toward use as an anode material.
"A byproduct of wood pulp manufacturing, #lignin has long been investigated for possible use as a more sustainable electrode material. Finnish renewable materials company Stora Enso made headlines in 2022 when it partnered up with Swedish battery manufacturer #Northvolt toward using its proprietary #Lignode material in lithium-ion battery anodes. Stora Enso describes Lignode as a hard carbon material refined from lignin.
"By teaming with Altris, Stora Enso looks to go even more sustainable while further localizing the European battery supply chain. As we looked at when Natron Energy kicked off production a few weeks ago, sodium-ion batteries eliminate the need for rare minerals like lithium, cobalt and nickel, relying on abundant sodium that can be sourced locally without harmful #mining.

New #SodiumIon battery stores twice the energy and #desalinates #seawater
Date: February 19, 2026
Source: University of SurreySummary: A surprising breakthrough could help sodium-ion batteries rival lithium—and even turn seawater into drinking water. Scientists discovered that keeping water inside a key battery material, instead of removing it as traditionally done, dramatically boosts performance. The “wet” version stores nearly twice as much charge, charges faster, and remains stable for hundreds of cycles, placing it among the top-performing sodium battery materials ever reported.
"In research published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry A, scientists examined sodium vanadium oxide, a well-known sodium-based compound. They discovered that allowing the material to retain its natural water content significantly enhances how it functions inside a battery.
"The compound, called nanostructured sodium vanadate hydrate (#NVOH), delivered far stronger results when used in its hydrated form. It stored substantially more energy, charged at a faster rate, and maintained stability for more than 400 charge cycles.
"During testing, the hydrated version held nearly twice as much charge as standard sodium-ion cathode materials. This performance places it among the top cathodes reported so far for sodium-ion batteries.
"Dr. Daniel Commandeur, Research Fellow at the University of Surrey School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, and lead author of the paper, said: 'Our results were completely unexpected. Sodium vanadium oxide has been around for years, and people usually heat-treat it to remove the water because it's thought to cause problems. We decided to challenge that assumption, and the outcome was far better than we anticipated. The material showed much stronger performance and stability than expected and could even create exciting new possibilities for how these batteries are used in the future.'
#Seawater Operation and Electrochemical #Desalination
"The team also explored how the material performed in salt water, an especially demanding environment for battery systems. Not only did it continue operating effectively, it also removed sodium ions from the saltwater solution. At the same time, a graphite electrode extracted chloride ions in a process known as electrochemical desalination.
"Dr. Commandeur added: 'Being able to use sodium vanadate hydrate in salt water is a really exciting discovery, as it shows sodium-ion batteries could do more than just store energy -- they could also help remove salt from water. In the long term, that means we might be able to design systems that use seawater as a completely safe, free and abundant electrolyte, while also producing #FreshWater as part of the process.' "

The world’s first #EV with a #SodiumIon battery has landed – and it beats traditional #lithium batteries in one key way
By Leon Poultney, published February 9, 2026
Cheaper sodium-ion batteries are rapidly becoming a reality
Excerpt: "The battery technology, which has been developed by CATL (arguably the world’s largest manufacturer of EV batteries), has just finished winter testing in Inner Mongolia, where temperatures regularly drop well below what most EVs are designed to handle.
"According to Gizmochina, the Nevo A06 was able to charge without issue at around -30°C (-22°F) and continued operating at temperatures as low as -50°C (-58°F)."

I've posted a few times in the last year or two suggesting sodium ion batteries as an alternative to lithium ion. Cheaper, safer, longer-lived, and easier to manufacture, and to recyclable at EoL. Mainly for fixed installations at this point (eg storage for rooftop solar), because the tech is new and still somewhat bulky.
I recently visited the friends who introduced me to them, as storage in their off-grid systems. They can't praise them enough.

Deliveries of 🔸the world's first mass-produced electric vehicle equipped with a sodium-ion battery 🔸will begin in January 2024.
According to CarNewsChina, they're being produced by ♦️JAC Motors♦️a Volkswagen-backed Chinese automaker, through its new Yiwei EV brand.
From the report:
The #Yiwei #EV #hatchback will have a cylindrical 🔺sodium-ion 🔺pack from Beijing-based #HiNa #Battery and adopt JAC's UE (Unitized Encapsulation) module technology.#UE is also known as a "honeycomb design" because of its appearance.
It is another battery structure concept like #CATL's #CTP (cell-to-pack) or #BYD's #BladeBattery.
Yiwei is a new EV brand under Anhui Jianghuai Automobile (JAC), established in 2023.
JAC's parent company, Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group Holdings (#JAG ), is 50% state-owned, and 50% belongs to #Volkswagen Group.
The German automotive giant acquired its stake in 2020 in an unprecedented move to invest in China's state-owned car maker.

@Snoro #Northvolt #SodiumIon batteries seem very promising on the #renewable energy front. They don't use #lithium or #cobalt, and I believe they can be made from materials that are abundant (sodium) or that are recycled (nickel). I'm definitely going to do more research about this technology.
