A Sodium Solid-State Battery is a type of battery technology that utilizes sodium ions as the charge carriers, in a solid-state format. Unlike traditional lithium-ion batteries, which use liquid electrolytes, solid-state batteries employ solid electrolytes to facilitate ion movement. This design aims to enhance safety by reducing the risk of leakage and flammability associated with liquid electrolytes. Sodium solid-state batteries are considered promising for energy storage due to their potential for lower cost—sodium is more abundant and less expensive than lithium—along with improved energy density and longer cycle life. These batteries may play a significant role in sustainable energy solutions and are being researched for various applications in electric vehicles and grid energy storage.
