Researchers have developed a method to predict the atomic structure of sodium-ion batteries

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have developed a method to predict the atomic structure of sodium-ion batteries. The findings, which have been published in the journal Science, are expected to significantly speed up research into sodium-ion batteries.

Researchers believe Na-ion batteries have potential to replace lithium batteries in applications where energy density is not the primary consideration; this would include stationary energy storage systems for example.
