Let’s go through a Patent Landscape<\/strong><\/a> Study on Next Generation Sodium-Ion Batteries. The concept of electrochemical batteries is not new to this world. A large number of batteries having different material combinations and performance characteristics are available in the market. However, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) still lead in the market. LIBs have already become the battery of choice for many electrical energy storage systems, ranging from mobile phones to powering electric vehicles (EVs) because they provide the highest energy density than any other available battery for rechargeable devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But developing a battery with same storage capacity and performance characteristics at a price costing less than 80 percent than that of a high-performance Lithium-ion battery is flabbergasting. Isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, Stanford researchers developed next generation sodium-ion batteries based on a compound related to table salt in which sodium <\/strong>and myo-inositol<\/strong> enabled the efficient electron flow between the electrons thus boosting the performance of next generation sodium-ion batteries significantly. \u201cNothing may ever surpass lithium in performance,\u201d Chemical engineer Zhenan Bao<\/strong><\/a> said. \u201cBut lithium is so rare and costly that we need to develop high-performance but low-cost batteries based on abundant elements like sodium.\u201d However, till now researchers had focused solely on cost-performance comparisons between their sodium ion battery and state of the art lithium. In the future they\u2019ll have to look at volumetric energy density \u2013 how big must next generation sodium-ion batteries be to store the same energy as a lithium ion system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An attempt is made in determining the true potential of sodium-ion batteries as an alternative to lithium-ion batteries on grounds of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
