Matt ‘Undecided’ Farrell YT Channel From print OCR Quote: “”The first production under the Naxtra brand will be of a new sodium-ion battery with an energy density of 175 watt-hours per kilogram, nearly equivalent to the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries popularly used in electric vehicles and grid energy storage systems. Sodium-ion batteries may have

Matt / Undecided tells us about the current state of the sodium ion battery market. Some of the new developments.
Natron enters low volume production. The article says 70 Wh/kg, less than half of lithium. “”…advantages such as faster cycling, longer lifespan and safer, non-flammable end use have made sodium-ion an attractive alternative…”” https://newatlas.com/energy/natron-sodium-ion-battery-production-startt/
Future Sodium Ion batteries could be ten times cheaper for energy storage. Quote: “”CATL’s first-generation sodium battery generates 160-watt-hours per kilogram. This is 10% less energy than iron LFP batteries and 40% less than mass produced nickel batteries. CATL plans to increase the energy density of next generation sodium ion to 200 Wh/kg.”” Future Sodium
