Experimental evidence suggests sodium-ion batteries can outpace lithium-ion charging

As the transport and energy sectors accelerate toward electrification, demand is increasing not only for higher energy density batteries, but also for systems that can charge rapidly, operate reliably, and rely on materials with secure global supply chains

While lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) remain the dominant technology today, growing attention is being paid to sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) as a complementary or alternative solution.
