CATL is working on a more powerful sodium-ion battery:

CATL is developing the second generation of its sodium-ion batteries, which are designed to offer an energy density of 200 Wh/kg. Mid-2021 CATL was one of the first battery manufacturers to present its own sodium-ion battery. The first generation had an energy density of 160 Wh/kg according to the information available at the time. A second generation with 200 Wh/kg has now been announced. By comparison, lithium-ion batteries with liquid electrolyte are maxed out at around 350 Wh/kg.

Given the advancements in energy density from 160 Wh/kg to 200 Wh/kg in CATL’s sodium-ion batteries, what are the key technical challenges that need to be addressed to close the gap with lithium-ion batteries further? Please share your insights and potential solutions.
