Sodium, characterized by its high energy density, efficient energy conversion, swift reactivity, and cost-effective storage and transportation, emerges as a promising energy solution.
Compared to existing energy storage technologies, sodium-based solutions offer advantages like improved safety, higher energy density, lower operating costs, and faster startup and shutdown speeds.
Much of the attraction to sodium (Na) batteries as candidates for large-scale energy storage stems from the fact that as the sixth most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and the fourth most abundant element in the ocean, it is an inexpensive and globally accessible commodity.

Compared to conventional coal-fired boilers, the new sodium-based energy release device offers several distinct advantages. Firstly, sodium and water exhibit rapid reaction rates, enabling swift startup and shutdown of the device. Secondly, sodium combustion in water vapor results in high energy release efficiency.
Sodium can be found from sea salt and the earth’s crust. There is 2.8% sodium available in the earth’s crust. There have been proposed for sodium batteries current collector such as prepatterned current collectors, porous Al and Cu current collectors, carbon felt, and conducting polymer paper-derived mesoporous 3D N-doped carbon.
