Lithium is geologically less abundant and more geographically concentrated than sodium, which has raised concerns around long-term cost volatility and availability as battery storage demand scales. 2 ...

A common element found in table salt may hold the key to powering China’s next wave of electric vehicle (EV) adoption. Cars featuring a sodium-ion battery, an emerging technology, are slated to go on ...

A cheaper, safer, and more abundant alternative to lithium is finally making its way into cars—and the grid. For decades, lithium-ion batteries have powered our phones, laptops, and electric vehicles.

American battery startup Peak Energy and energy developer Jupiter Power have teamed up to deploy grid-scale sodium-ion batteries. It's a big step forward for the nascent—and in some ways, ...
