Low Cost Na-Ion Batteries LOCO-NIBS

由于其出色的能量和功率密度，锂离子电池已成为当今电能存储的主要技术，从小型便携式电子设备到大型电网存储。然而，由于锂离子电池成本相对较高，对锂资源的压力越来越大，因此不适合小规模储能。最近，钠离子电池作为锂离子电池的低成本和可负担的替代品开始受到越来越多的关注。伦敦玛丽女王大学材料科学与工程学院（QMUL）和庄信万丰（JM）之间的合作将推进基于丰富可再生资源的低成本和高性能阳极的开发，以及基于减少使用或替代关键原材料的阴极开发，以更丰富，更低成本的元素，同时保持性能。这将加速钠离子电池的发展，钠离子电池以后可以集成到电池模块中，创造新一代经济实惠的固定电池系统。财务汇总表-如何完成本节

Due to their outstanding energy and power density, lithium-ion batteries have become the main technology fortoday’s electrical energy storage, from small portable electronics up to large electrical grid storage. However,the lithium-ion bateries are not suitable for small scale energy storage because of their relatively high cost andincreasingly higher strain on lithium resources. Recently, sodium-ion batteries started to receive significantlymore attention as a low cost and affordable alternative to lithium-ion batteries. This collaboration betweenSchool of Materials Science and Engineering at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) and Johnson Matthey(JM) will advance the development of low cost and highly performing anodes based on abundant andrenewable resources and cathode development based on reduced use or substitution of critical raw materialswith more abundant, lower cost, elements while maintaining performance. This will accelerate thedevelopment of sodium ion batteries which could be later integrated into battery modules, creating a newgeneration of affordable stationary battery systems.Finance Summary Table – How to complete this section
