Sodium-ion and lithium-ion batteries share the same electrochemical principles, with sodium replacing lithium. While different cathodes, anodes, and electrolytes are required to accommodate this substitution, the overall chemical makeup remains similar across both technologies. The most significant difference lies in the cathode. However, sodium-based alternatives to lithium-ion's NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) and LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) are actively being developed by key players.

Diversification in the Energy Storage Industry is AcceleratingAmong current energy storage technologies, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) dominate due to their high energy density and versatility. Initially driven by consumer electronics, their adoption has expanded to electric vehicles (EVs) and stationary storage. However, as demand grows, geopolitical risks, supply chain constraints, and raw material price volatility have exposed vulnerabilities in the LIB value chain.
