The team also claims to be extremely thermally stable, with no risk of fire. With fast charging, it can be charged from 0 to 99 in 8 minutes, and has a cycle life of more than 50,000 cycles. Natron’s sodium-ion battery technology is based on the pigment “Prussian blue”, with a power density between lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries. The specific energy is 160Wh/kg, which is more than half the density of today’s lithium-ion batteries. For example, China’s CATL was planning to launch sodium-ion batteries for the electric vehicle market in 2021. In recent years, there has been no shortage of research on sodium-ion batteries. Therefore, the development of alternative batteries has attracted much attention. It is known that the existing lithium reserves cannot meet the expected demand level of the electric vehicle market, not to mention other applications. With the increase in demand for 3C products, battery energy storage systems, and electric vehicles, the demand for lithium-ion batteries will naturally rise. Existing lithium reserves cannot meet the expected demand , does not require any lithium metal, and has excellent safety and cycle life. However, as the name suggests, the electrode material of the sodium-ion battery is mainly sodium salt. It relies on the movement of sodium ions between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The operation mode is similar to that of the lithium-ion battery. The sodium-ion battery is one of the new generation batteries that has attracted much attention after the lithium-ion battery. Natron Energy, a California-based sodium-ion battery company, will join hands with battery manufacturer Clarios to mass-produce sodium-ion batteries in Michigan in 2023.
