Sodium-ion batteries are poised for a breakout moment — energy players should prepare

Rechargeable batteries are used in everything from smartphones to electric vehicles to grid storage. The industry has been dominated by lithium-ion batteries for years, but they can be expensive and don’t work well in low or high temperatures.

Enter sodium-ion batteries.

They’re cheap to build, temperature-resilient, and could soon shake up the global energy storage market — which is projected to grow to $77B within the next 10 years.
