CATL introduces sodium-ion battery, AB pack with lithium-ion cells In a press release following its “Tech Zone” event held online, CATL officially announced its first generation of sodium-ion ...

CATL has achieved a mix of sodium ion and lithium ion which allows them to complement each other and thus increase the energy density of the battery system. This will help the transition to sodium ion ...

A sodium-ion battery cell can charge to 80% in 15 minutes at room temperature, CATL said in a press release. It also has a capacity-retention rate of more than 90% at -4 degrees Fahrenheit ...

CATL 300750.SZ said last week it plans to build a supply chain by 2023 to produce sodium-ion batteries, which have lower energy density than lithium-ion models, but are fast charging and more ...

CATL’s high-voltage sodium-ion battery gets an energy density of 175 watt-hours per kilogram. That’s below the 200–300 Wh/kg range typical of lithium-ion batteries, but it’s enough to ...

Lithium-ion batteries can range from about 180 to nearly 300 watt-hours per kilogram. I asked Srinivasan what he makes of CATL’s claim of a sodium-ion battery with 200 watt-hours per kilogram.

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. unveiled a sodium-ion battery Thursday, a type of lower-density cell that uses cheaper raw materials than batteries made from lithium-ion metals.

CATL's second-generation sodium-ion cells can reportedly discharge normally even at -40 degrees Celsius (-40F as temperature scales converge). Depending on the make and model, EV batteries perform ...

Sodium-ion batteries have sodium-ion batteries have already been commercialized in e-bikes and energy storage. Sodium is 2.3% of the world’s crust. It is over 1000 times more abundant than lithium.

The development of a new sodium-ion battery by Chinese battery giant CATL is expected in the coming years to relieve pressure on lithium supplies, which are forecast to see shortages as early as 2022.

CATL’s high-voltage sodium-ion battery gets an energy density of 175 watt-hours per kilogram. That’s below the 200–300 Wh/kg range typical of lithium-ion batteries, but it’s enough to ...
