Presents uparalleled coverage of Na-ion battery technology, including the most recent research and emerging applications

Na-ion battery technologies have emerged as cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternatives to Li-ion batteries, particularly for large-scale storage applications where battery size is less of a concern than in portable electronics or electric vehicles. Scientists and engineers involved in developing commercially viable Na-ion batteries need to understand the state-of-the-art in constituent materials, electrodes, and electrolytes to meet both performance metrics and economic requirements.

Sodium-Ion Batteries: Materials, Characterization, and Technology provides in-depth coverage of the material constituents, characterization, applications, upscaling, and commercialization of Na-ion batteries. Contributions by international experts discuss the development and performance of cathode and anode materials and their characterization - using methods such as NMR spectroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and computational studies - as well as ceramics, ionic liquids, and other solid and liquid electrolytes.

• Discusses the development of battery technology based on the abundant alkali ion sodium
• Features a thorough introduction to Na-ion batteries and their comparison with Li-ion batteries
• Reviews recent research on the structure-electrochemical performance relationship and the development of new solid electrolytes
• Includes a timely overview of commercial perspectives, cost analysis, and safety issues of Na-ion batteries
• Covers emerging technologies including Na-ion capacitors, aqueous sodium batteries, and Na-S batteries

The handbook Sodium-Ion Batteries: Materials, Characterization, and Technology is an indispensable reference for researchers and development engineers, materials scientists, electrochemists, and engineering scientists in both academia and industry.
