Download or read book Advanced Materials for Sodium Ion Storage written by Ranjusha Rajagopalan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globally, lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are leaders in the energy storage sector but there are concerns regarding load leveling of renewable energy sources as well as smart grids and limited availability of lithium resources resulting in cost increase. Therefore, sodium ion batteries (SIBs) are being researched as next-generation alternatives to LIBs due to their similar sustainability and electrochemistry. This book mainly focuses on the current research on electrode materials and proposes future directions for SIBs to meet the current challenges associated with the full cell aspect. Further, it provide insights into scientific and practical issues in the development of SIBs.
