]]> The current electric car power battery can not be separated from the lithium metal, limited by lithium resources, the market price of lithium carbonate to 500,000 yuan/ton, the high cost limits the price of electric vehicles, and sodium ion batteries without lithium, cost reduction, Ningde Time last year launched a sodium ion battery, is actively preparing for mass production.

A few days ago Ningde Times on the interactive platform, reiterated the company’s goal, saying that the company is working to promote the industrialization of sodium-ion batteries in 2023.

Previously, Ningde Times said that in terms of the manufacturing process, sodium-ion batteries can achieve compatibility with lithium-ion battery production equipment and processes, and production lines can be quickly switched to complete the rapid layout of production capacity.

On July 29, 2021, Ningde Times released the first generation of sodium-ion batteries, with the energy density of the cell monomer reaching 160Wh/kg, which is the highest level in the world.

The power can reach 80% after 15 minutes of charging at room temperature. And in the environment of -20°C low temperature, it still has a more than 90% discharge retention rate.

Ningde Times’ plan is that the energy density of the second generation sodium ion battery will be above 200Wh/kg and the basic industrial chain will be formed in 2023.

]]> Sodium-ion batteries are gaining popularity as they stand to be the possible replacement for Lithium-ion batteries. There are some reasons why Sodium-ion is a better option than the currently existing and popular battery type. Let’s take a look at the reason behind the possible switch from Lithium-ion batteries. 

Some reasons behind the possible change in battery type are the availability, affordability, and safety of the Sodium counterpart. This is unlike the existing Lithium-ion batteries that are expensive and scarce to source in the industry. Research is currently on to help develop a more fully functional Sodium-ion battery for global adoption.

Once available, this new battery type will increase its presence in the EV market to ease the scarcity of Lithium-ion batteries. Already, CATL has a fully working Sodium-ion battery with a single cell energy density of 160Wh/kg. This battery became available during the CATL launch event last year in the month of August.

The second generation of CATL’s Sodium-ion batteries is on the way, and their success might alter the market’s dependency on its Lithium-ion counterparts. We understand that the energy density on this second-generation battery will step up to 200Wh/kg, an improvement from what is currently available. As global adoption improves, both battery types will exist side-by-side, and the choice of which to depend on will rest more on manufacturers.
