Sodium-ion batteries are also being considered for personal electronic devices, such as such as laptops and mobile phones. Though heavier than Lithium-ion batteries, they are cheaper and safer, both of which are important consumer considerations.
For example, Australian researchers have developed a non-flammable solid polymer electrolyte, for use with Sodium-ion batteries. Various other strategies to mitigate thermal risks of Sodium-ion batteries are also being investigated including materials selection for improved safety.
AUSTIN, Texas — A sodium battery developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin significantly reduces fire risks from the technology, while also relying on inexpensive, abundant materials to serve as its building blocks. Though battery fires are rare, increased battery usage means these incidents are on the rise.
Sodium-ion batteries will bring many benefits into rechargeable battery markets. These include: Compared to Lithium-ion batteries Sodium-ion batteries are less prone to catch fire. Future generations of Sodium-ion may use solid state electrolytes which will be absolutely free from this hazard.
