Sodium Batteries From Michigan To Challenge Lithium's Grip
01 May 2024 | Abstracted from Economic Times
Natron Energy Inc. will unveil what it bills as the first full-scale plant in the US for making sodium-ion batteries...funded in part by a nearly $20 million federal grant. That makes it one of a wave of new US battery plants to receive backing from the Biden administration.
"...sodium-ion batteries offer benefits over their lithium-ion counterparts. They can discharge faster, providing short, intense bouts of power...The downside: Sodium-ion batteries can?t match lithium-ion?s energy density."
