Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a compelling alternative to lithium-ion, offering a unique blend of material abundance, system compatibility, and enhanced safety. As the energy storage market searches for scalable, cost-effective solutions, sodium-ion's core promises could reshape how and where batteries are deployed. Here's a closer look at what makes this technology so promising. Minerals abundance Sodium ion batteries offer a key advantage in mineral abundance.
Carbon Nanotubes: On the Path to Commercial Success

3 weeks ago | idtechex.com | Conor O'Brien

The dynamic carbon nanotube (CNT) market has evolved from early high expectations to achieving tangible commercial breakthroughs in recent years. The market is valued at US$540 million in 2025 and expected to grow by a factor of 2.4 over the coming decade. Manufacturing capacities are expanding as companies scale up, multinational carbon black players enter the market and supply chains are established.
China Pushes Ahead in Battery Technology Race

4 weeks ago | idtechex.com | Alex Holland

China has emerged as the undisputed frontrunner in battery technology development and industrial scale-up. From incremental improvements to lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries to breakthroughs in sodium-ion and next-generation chemistries, Chinese companies are setting the pace in performance, cost-effectiveness, and production capacity.
Self-Healing Materials Market Grows in Construction Industry

1 month ago | idtechex.com | Conor O'Brien

Every year, industrialized nations lose approximately 3% of GDP due to issues associated with material corrosion and degradation. In particular, damage to concrete structures and infrastructure, ranging from small cracks to complete failure, can lead to severe disruptions, and repairs can incur significant expense. But what if damaged concrete had the ability to self-heal microcracks before they could propagate into larger-scale issues?
Sodium-ion: The Battery Built for Trade Resilience

1 month ago | idtechex.com | Shazan Siddiqi

Amidst rising tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and growing restrictions on battery material exports, the case for a resilient, domestically anchored battery industry has never been stronger. Sodium-ion technology, leveraging abundant and locally sourced materials, is emerging as a compelling alternative to lithium-ion, particularly in light of critical mineral bottlenecks and trade volatility.
US Tariffs Impact on the EV Charging Market

1 month ago | idtechex.com | Shazan Siddiqi

The recent US tariffs implemented in 2025 will significantly impact the EV charging market, affecting both the physical charging equipment and the broader electrical infrastructure required to support it. Potential impact on charging hardware Many EV chargers rely on high-quality copper wiring for power transmission. Tariffs that increase the cost of copper are likely to drive up the cost of cable manufacturing.
