For many years, nickel-cadmium had been the only suitable battery for portable equipment from wireless communications to mobile computing. Nickel-metal-hydride and lithium-ion emerged In the early 1990s, fighting nose-to-nose to gain customer's acceptance. Today, lithium-ion is the fastest growing and most promising battery chemistry.
Wheelchairs, scooters and golf cars mostly use lead acid batteries.moderate attempts are made to switch to other systems Li-ion will be a natural alternative in many applications.
As an emerging energy storage technology, sodium-ion battery has more prominent safety advantages than traditional lithium-ion batteries. In the tests of overcharge, overdischarge, short circuit, acupuncture, etc., the sodium-ion battery showed excellent performance of no fire and no explosion.
As society shifts away from fossil fuels, the demand for batteries is surging. Concurrently, this surge is likely to lead to a scarcity of lithium and cobalt, essential elements in prevalent battery types. An alternative solution could be sodium-ion batteries !
It is imperative to develop methodologies to accurately predict and mitigate thermal runway. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are inherently safer than LIBs. In addition to offering better safety, SIBs are gaining momentum due to the abundance and low cost of their raw materials compared to the limited lithium resources and high cost of elements such as cobalt, copper, and nickel used in LIBs.
Sodium-ion batteries have similar energy storage mechanisms and abundant sodium metal resources as lithium-ion batteries, and have broad application prospects in large-scale grid energy storage, low-speed electric vehicles and other fields.Sodium-ion batteries have come a long way over the past few decades, especially in the development of batteries with excellent cycle stability and high-rate performance. Predictably, the low-temperature performance of sodium-ion batteries has been challenged by the dramatic growth in demand for large-scale grid energy storage, aerospace and marine exploration, and defense applications.
