US Startups Push Sodium-Ion Battery Production
6 min read
US startups like Unigrid and Peak Energy are developing sodium-ion batteries to challenge China's dominance in battery manufacturing. Unigrid has shipped 100 units and expects 1,000 by year-end. Sodium-ion batteries could be cheaper and safer than lithium-ion, but concerns remain over chromium-3 toxicity and lower energy density. Data centre demand drives interest.
