Battery alternatives like Sodium and Fluoride ion batteries offer huge potential apart from lithium ion batteries.
About Sodium-Ion Batteries
- Meaning: Function similarly to lithium-ion batteries but use sodium- ions (Na+) as charge carriers.
- Rechargeable battery that generates electricity by moving ions between two electrodes: a positive electrode (cathode) and a negative electrode (anode).
- Benefits Offered:
- Availability: Sodium being abundant, inexpensive, and globally available.
- Safer: Lower risk of catching fire compared to Lithium batteries when operated in extreme conditions.
- Transportation and storage: Typically safer compared to lithium.
About Fluoride-Ion Batteries
- Meaning: Rechargeable system in which fluoride ions (anions) serve as mobile charge carriers between electrodes during cycling.
- Benefits Offered:
- High Energy Densities: Could deliver more than 2000Wh/kg (compared 500 Wh/kg for Lithium ion batteries).
- Availability: Fluorine is far more abundant than lithium with a larger supply chain.
