Na, but they\u2019ll be worth their salt"},"content":{"rendered":"<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" >\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>The automotive industry has been searching for a cheaper, more<br \/>\nsustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries. While<br \/>\nexperimenting with several cathode chemistries, including<br \/>\niron-based lithium-ion batteries in low-end models and variants,<br \/>\nthe industry has also been working on sodium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n<p>Although iron-based lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries such as<br \/>\nlithium iron phosphate (LFP) and lithium manganese iron phosphate<br \/>\n(LMFP) are cheaper, they are unable to fully resolve all supply<br \/>\nchain issues, which is where sodium-ion batteries come in. Sodium<br \/>\nis nearly 400 times more abundant than lithium, making its<br \/>\nprocurement much easier.<\/p>\n<p>Last year was a particularly moving year for sodium-ion battery<br \/>\ntechnology in the automotive segment, with several big-ticket<br \/>\nannouncements, which have continued into 2024. Some of the<br \/>\ncompanies that made a move toward sodium-ion batteries include<br \/>\nmainland Chinese automakers BYD, Anhui Jianghuai Automobile, and<br \/>\nJiangxi Jiangling Group New Energy Vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2023, Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) announced<br \/>\nthat Chery Automobile became the first customer for its sodium-ion<br \/>\nbatteries. CATL unveiled its internally developed sodium-ion<br \/>\nbatteries in July 2021. While CATL&#39;s first-generation sodium-ion<br \/>\nbattery had an energy density of 160 watt-hours per kilogram<br \/>\n(Wh\/kg), the battery maker&#39;s next-generation sodium-ion battery<br \/>\nenergy density will exceed 200 Wh\/kg.<\/p>\n<p>However, we are now witnessing non-mainland Chinese players<br \/>\nentering the fray. Stellantis and Northvolt recently announced<br \/>\ntheir move toward sodium-ion battery technology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The technology today<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Until recently, sodium-ion batteries were thought to be suited<br \/>\nonly for energy storage systems or the two-wheeler segment, where<br \/>\nperformance requirements are not too high. Although these segments<br \/>\nwill be where sodium-ion batteries are primarily used, recent<br \/>\ndevelopments suggest that sodium-ion batteries can cater to a niche<br \/>\nsegment within the light-vehicle segment, especially intracity<br \/>\nmicro cars.<\/p>\n<p>Sodium-ion batteries will probably be an alternative to LFP<br \/>\nbatteries, given their closely matched energy density figures.<br \/>\nSodium-ion batteries offer energy density of approximately 160<br \/>\nWh\/kg, compared with about 200 Wh\/kg offered by LFP batteries. This<br \/>\nlow energy density, combined with a lower life cycle, is a big<br \/>\ndisadvantage that could keep sodium-ion batteries confined to<br \/>\nlow-cost, entry-level cars.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are several factors that could prove to be<br \/>\ncatalysts for higher adoption of sodium-ion cells in the<br \/>\nlight-vehicle segment. In terms of technology, sodium-ion batteries<br \/>\nare much safer, less reactive than lithium and able to operate more<br \/>\nefficiently over a wider temperature range, offering comparatively<br \/>\ngood performance at lower temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>Sodium-ion cells are much cheaper to manufacture than Li-ion<br \/>\nbatteries. According to S&amp;amp;P Global Mobility research, the cost<br \/>\nof manufacturing sodium-ion cells is about $50\/kWh, compared with<br \/>\n$70\/kWh for Li-ion batteries. The cell manufacturing process for<br \/>\nsodium-ion cells is also almost identical to that of Li-ion cells.<br \/>\nThis means heavy investments would not be required if any supplier<br \/>\ndecides to switch from Li-ion cells to sodium-ion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is highly likely that the use of sodium-ion batteries in the<br \/>\nlight-vehicle segment will be limited in the short to medium term.<br \/>\nAccording to an S&amp;amp;P Global Mobility forecast, the share of<br \/>\nsodium-ion batteries in the light-vehicle segment could reach about<br \/>\n3% in 2030 globally. In mainland China, sodium-ion batteries will<br \/>\nhave about a 5.5% share in the light-vehicle segment, whereas in<br \/>\nEurope, the battery type could have a share of about 2%. However,<br \/>\nif the prices of Li-ion batteries remain at higher levels, the<br \/>\nglobal share of sodium-ion batteries, in the best-case scenario,<br \/>\ncould increase to about 5% by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Sodium-ion batteries are already seen as more cost-effective,<br \/>\nsafer, less susceptible to supply chain disruptions, and more<br \/>\nenvironmentally friendly to produce. With suppliers claiming that<br \/>\ntheir next-generation sodium-ion batteries will have the same<br \/>\nenergy density as LFP at 200 Wh\/kg, sodium-ion batteries will start<br \/>\nmaking a lot more sense for use in cars, even in the mid-level car<br \/>\nsegment. The possibility of reducing dependency on mainland China<br \/>\nfor processed raw materials will certainly work as an added<br \/>\nincentive for the industry to consider sodium-ion.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"primary-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spglobal.com\/mobility\/en\/Info\/0723\/subscribe-autotechinsight-briefcase-newsletter.html\"  rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Subscribe to BriefCASE: Our<br \/>\nweekly AutoTechInsight newsletter featuring innovative automotive<br \/>\ninsights and expert analysis<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The automotive industry has been searching for a cheaper, more<br \/>\nsustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries.
