Thursday 18 May 2023 - The following aspects will be addressed: Materials for sodium-ion cell design; Sodium-ion battery value proposition; Opportunities and challenges in the sodium-ion battery market; Sodium-ion battery players and commercialisation efforts; Will sodium-ion batteries replace lithium?

Na-ion (sodium-ion) batteries are gaining interest as an alternative battery technology to Li-ion. In large part, this is due to their ability to reduce reliance on expensive materials such as lithium, cobalt and nickel, which could in turn help reduce battery costs. This premium article will analyse and discuss the cost profile of different Na-ion battery chemistries, comparing them to Li-ion cell costs.

Small modular reactors (SMRs) promise cheaper nuclear energy, supplying zero-carbon grid baseload and enabling new use cases for nuclear reactors. By shrinking the size of nuclear reactors compared to conventional large nuclear reactors, much of the construction is transferred to factory assembly lines, cutting capital costs and making nuclear power cost-competitive with renewables in many applications.

Among the existing energy storage technologies, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have unmatched energy density and versatility. Since their first commercialization, the growth in LIBs has been driven by portable devices. In recent years, however, large-scale electric vehicles and stationary applications have emerged
