Northvolt develops high-energy density sodium-ion battery

The Guardian

Europe's Northvolt has developed a sodium-ion battery with over 160 watt-hours per kilogram energy density, free from critical raw materials like lithium and cobalt. The breakthrough could reduce Europe's reliance on China for electric vehicle batteries. The Swedish company aims to use the battery for electricity storage and potentially in electric vehicles. Northvolt has not yet decided on mass production location. The battery is safer at high temperatures and targets markets in the Middle East, India, and Africa.
