To this end, 21 national partners from science and industry are pooling their expertise from battery material development to the production of large-format cells to enable the fast transfer of research results into practical applications.
Battery cells are an indispensable part of the mobility transition agreed by the European Union by They also play a crucial role in the integration of large amounts of renewable electricity into the grid and are essential for an uninterrupted power supply when setting up 5G telecommunications stations.
Lithium-ion batteries are currently the most used energy storage devices. However, the dependence and scarcity of raw materials poses a significant challenge for the lithium-ion battery market. Comparable alternatives are therefore urgently needed for both mobile and stationary energy storage systems.
Sodium is considered a particularly uncritical raw material, is readily available, inexpensive and is classified as very safe. Sodium-ion batteries can therefore play a key role in ensuring a stable and sustainable European energy supply.
When using alternative raw materials, it is important to optimize both the long-term stability and the practical use of the theoretical energy densities of the materials and cells of sodium-ion technology in comparison to conventional developments in order to ensure the required performance.
