A research team led by Prof. Wan Yinhua from the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has ...

In April 2025, the world's largest battery manufacturer, China's CATL, announced its plan to mass-produce sodium-ion batteries for heavy-duty trucks and cars this year under a new brand Naxtra.

The planned global sodium-ion battery capacity will exceed 500 GWh by 2033, and China is projected to account for more than 90% of that, Zheng says, citing Wood Mackenzie analysis.

Reduced Dependency on Lithium Finally, CATL teased a third major innovation, the Naxtra battery, which it says will be the world's first mass-produced sodium-ion battery.

Elecom's sodium-ion battery operates in extreme climates temperatures ranging from -35°C to 50°C, while its design incorporates sustainability by using recycled plastic for the casing and paper ...

While this is the first sodium-ion power bank out there, its 45-W charging speed is fairly common, and it's heavier than cheaper lithium-ion ones you can get right now ...

Researchers have developed an innovative hydrogel electrolyte that dramatically enhances the performance of sodium-zinc hybrid ion batteries. This breakthrough material offers exceptional ionic ...

Amid concerns about lithium-ion batteries, an alternative is moving toward the mainstream: sodium-ion batteries. On Nov. 18, CATL, the world’s largest battery manufacturer, announced its second ...

In contrast, sodium-ion batteries rely on sodium, a common element found in table salt and ocean water. CATL says its new battery works in temperatures as low as 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.

A typical sodium-ion battery has an energy density of about 150 watt-hours per kilogram at the cell level, he said. Lithium-ion batteries can range from about 180 to nearly 300 watt-hours per ...

On Nov. 18, CATL, the world’s largest battery manufacturer, announced its second-generation sodium-ion battery, mass production of which would begin in 2027.
