The idea of sodium-ion battery production is starting to take off, with the development of models for both industry and electric mobility. This technology is considered both safer and more sustainable than traditional lithium-ion batteries.

A new type of hybrid sodium-ion battery that offers both high capacity and rapid-charging capabilities could power mobile devices, electric vehicles and space tech.

Two years ago, sodium-ion battery pioneer Natron Energy was busy preparing its specially formulated sodium batteries for mass production. The company slipped a little past its 2023 kickoff plans, but it didn't fall too far behind as far as mass battery production goes.

Lithium-ion has been the dominant rechargeable battery technology for years, but the strong charge and discharge capacities from Sodium batteries could make a difference in the energy storage business

Natron Energy Inc. bills the facility near the Lake Michigan shore as the first full-scale U.S. plant for making sodium-ion batteries.

Natron Energy announced the start of commercial-scale operations at a sodium-ion battery manufacturing facility in Holland, Michigan. Business Wire The first sodium-ion battery plant in the U.S. started operations Monday,
