In a recent article published in the journal Nano Macro Small, researchers explored the synthesis of cobalt-tin (Co-Sn) sulfides to enhance the performance and stability of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs).
The aim was to tackle the limitations of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and enhance the performance of sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) by refining the synthesis of advanced anode materials for more efficient and sustainable energy storage.
Advancements in Sodium-Ion Battery Technology
In recent years, sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have attracted growing interest as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), largely because of sodium’s abundance and lower cost.
While LIBs continue to lead the energy storage market, concerns over lithium’s uneven global distribution and price fluctuations underscore the importance of exploring other options. Sodium-based systems present a practical solution for large-scale energy storage, especially in scenarios where affordability and resource availability are critical.
