CATL is the largest battery producer in the world. Any move it makes is noteworthy. While CATL has been making sodium-ion batteries for some time, production commitment has increased dramatically in 2026. CATL introduced its Naxtra line of batteries earlier in 2025 and has now announced plans for volume production … [continued]
Following a successful test in the UK, a new, large scale iron-sodium energy storage system will be manufactured in the US, helping to shepherd more wind and solar energy into the nation's power generation profile (courtesy of Inlyte via PR Newswire).
Fans of new sodium battery technology suffered a big disappointment earlier this year when the once-promising US energy storage startup Natron shuttered its doors. However, other US innovators have picked up the slack. That includes California-based Inlyte Energy, which has just completed a successful test of its full scale “salt … [continued]

Sodium batteries are working their way into the commercial energy storage market in the US, offering a more secure, domestic, eco-friendly supply chain along with performance improvements.
Researchers are deploying vanadium to develop a new generation of high performing, low cost sodium-ion EV batteries and stationary energy storage systems.
The sodium-ion battery of the future is coming to decarbonize US data centers and backup generators, now do electric vehicles.
This modest looking set-up is a flow battery that can store wind and solar energy for up to weeks at a time, using only table salt and water.
Statkraft is evaluating a new flow battery based on table salt to pull more wind and solar power into the grid.
Capturing intermittent renewable energy from solar arrays and wind turbines is the goal of a new energy storage technology that uses the Earth-abundant materials sodium and aluminum.

Low-cost, Earth-abundant raw materials power a new grid energy storage solution
Researchers at Tohoku University have unearthed a means to stabilize lithium or sodium depositions in rechargeable batteries, helping keep their metallic structure intact. The discovery prevents potential battery degradation and short circuiting, and paves the way for higher energy-density metal-anode batteries. Courtesy of Tohoku University Scientists are ever-seeking to develop … [continued]
Scientists astounded by performance of sustainable batteries with far-reaching implications for electric vehicles and devices. Researchers at Bristol have developed high-performance sodium and potassium ion batteries using sustainably sourced cellulose. Scientists at the Bristol Composites Institute have developed a novel controllable unidirectional ice-templating strategy which can tailor the electrochemical performances of next-generation … [continued]
