"As we see more and more electric vehicles on the road and a growing demand for
home energy storage, car companies and cell manufacturers are having to think
carefully about the availability, cost and supply chain for the core
ingredients that make up the battery.
Lithium is one such ingredient that has dramatically increased in price in
response to EV and stationary storage demand and according to Bloomberg,
between 2021 and 2022 the cost of Lithium grew a staggering 280%. Luckily there
are some pioneering companies exploring game changing alternatives to help
diversify the end-to-end battery supply chain whilst reducing the impact on the
environment.
Sheffield based Faradion is one such company who are investigating the
viability of sodium, the metal found in common salt. As an abundant, cheap and
easily recycled material - could it be a suitable replacement for Lithium?!
