Sodium-ion vs lithium-ion BESS: Cost parity not before 2031 “Europe needs massive investments in energy storage to achieve true independence. This requirement cannot be met by a single technology, let alone by depending on a single geographic area. The goal is therefore to build a storage industry and a broader grid infrastructure under the control of Western countries. A strategic and ambitious goal that will take time,” Dario Bertagna, senior managing director and co-head of Clean Energy at Capital Dynamics, told pv magazine Italia.

Sodium-ion batteries

New electrolyte tech enables stable operation of high-voltage sodium-ion batteries U.S. researchers developed a meta-weakly solvating electrolyte that optimizes sodium-ion solvation structure, enabling faster ion transport, reduced side reactions, and improved interfacial stability in high-voltage sodium-ion batteries. This design significantly extends cycle life and outperforms conventional and localized high-concentration electrolytes by promoting more uniform and stable electrode–electrolyte interfaces.
