This is around 40-80 USD/kWh for a Na-ion cell compared to an average of 120 USD/kWh for a Li-ion cell. Sodium-ion batteries also offer advantages in terms of sustainability, compared to Li-ion batteries. The large abundance of sodium opens the door for more diverse sourcing.
Sodium-ion batteries are considered a promising substitute for Li-ion, but the timeline and conditions for achieving cost-competitiveness remain uncertain. This study evaluates their techno-economic potential, showing that while challenging, they could compete with low-cost Li-ion batteries by the 2030s under specific conditions.
While these numbers are comparable to some lower-end Li-ion batteries, they are still behind other commercially available Li-ion chemistries, e.g. Tesla batteries in the range of 250 Wh/kg. These characteristics make sodium-ion batteries suitable for use in a number of applications.
Sodium-ion batteries (NaIBs) were initially developed at roughly the same time as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in the 1980s; however, the limitations of charge/discharge rate, cyclability, energy density, and stable voltage profiles made them historically less competitive than their lithium-based counterparts .
Sodium-ion (Na-ion) batteries present a potentially viable near-term substitute for Li-ion for two primary reasons: (1) increased abundance and availability of sodium suggests lower prices and (2) drop-in compatibility with Li-ion manufacturing infrastructure suggests rapid scaling timelines.
Sodium-ion battery manufacturing relies mainly on soda ash as a sodium precursor, a compound that is far more abundant and more sustainable to extract and refine than lithium, making it lower cost, and less susceptible to resource availability concerns and price volatility.
