Sodium Ion Energy
Sodium-ion battery technology explained — the chemistry, the companies building it, and what it means for investors in grid storage, EVs and the post-lithium transition.
Why Sodium-Ion?
Sodium-ion batteries use sodium — the sixth most abundant element on Earth — instead of lithium. They're cheaper to make, perform better in cold weather, and avoid the geopolitical bottlenecks of lithium, cobalt and nickel supply chains. Companies like CATL, Natron Energy and HiNa Battery are already shipping sodium-ion cells for grid storage and entry-level EVs.
This site explains how the technology works, who's building it, and how UK and global investors can gain exposure to what could be the next major battery chemistry.
