NaClO 4 is the preferred salt, while mixtures of ethylene carbonate, diethyl carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, fluoroethylene carbonate, or propylene carbonate are used as solvents. A moisture-free inert atmosphere is required for the assembly of the half cell, so argon and additional energy inputs are also considered. Current collectors and the battery

"The sodium reacts with carbon dioxide and water vapor in the air, and it makes sodium carbonate and other products," says Eric McCalla an associate professor in McGill''s Department of Chemistry. "Water can actually go into the material, and convert it into a completely different structure, which is not a good battery material."
Similar to the early days of lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries also utilize a cobalt-containing active component. Specifically, sodium cobalt oxide (NaCoO 2) is used as the primary active material for sodium-ion

Sodium carbonate is also used in the production of sherbet lollies. The cooling and fizzing sensation results from the endothermic reaction between sodium carbonate and a weak acid, commonly citric acid, releasing carbon dioxide gas, which occurs when the sherbet is moistened by saliva. Sodium carbonate is used to encapsulate and kill mold
Lithium production is expensive and it''s not particularly eco-friendly. In comparison, sodium carbonate is abundant. In fact, it''s the sixth most present element on the planet and more than 1,000 times more abundant than lithium. So, sodium has some significant advantages when it comes to availability and cost, but there are some key hurdles for adoption
Although we don''t expect sodium-ion batteries to overtake lithium-ion ones in the short to medium term, sodium-based batteries have the potential to complement lithium-based ones, reduce dependence on a single material, and alleviate some of the pressure on lithium and battery material supply chains.

The revival of room-temperature sodium-ion batteries Due to the abundant sodium (Na) reserves in the Earth’s crust (Fig. 5 (a)) and to the similar physicochemical properties of sodium and lithium, sodium-based electrochemical energy storage holds significant promise for large-scale energy storage and grid development.
For instance, the price of sodium carbonate is around $300 per ton today. Sodium — one of the primary components of table salt — is chemically similar to lithium, and thanks to the explosion in lithium carbonate prices, many companies are researching ways to use it to replace lithium in the batteries for electric vehicles.

Both of these minerals are widely accessible and practically inexhaustible. Sodium-containing materials are widely accessible and practically inexhaustible.
Although we don’t expect sodium-ion batteries to overtake lithium-ion ones in the short to medium term, sodium-based batteries have the potential to complement lithium-based ones, reduce dependence on a single material, and alleviate some of the pressure on lithium and battery material supply chains.
Of the 20 sodium battery factories now planned or already under construction around the world, 16 are in China, according to Benchmark Minerals, a consulting firm. In two years, China will have nearly 95 percent of the world’s capacity to make sodium batteries.
The potential success of sodium-ion batteries would depend on how quickly battery manufacturers could scale up to commercialize the new technology and integrate this into the current manufacturing processes. Moves towards mass production of sodium-ion batteries are still in their infancy.
