Le batterie agli ioni di sodio sono celle elettrochimiche per l'accumulo di energia che sostituiscono gli ioni di sodio con litio come specie portatrice di carica che fa la spola tra catodo e anodo durante i cicli di carica e scarica, operando con una chimica di inserzione ed estrazione meccanicamente analoga a quella degli ioni di litio, ma governata dal raggio ionico più grande del sodio, dal potenziale di riduzione più basso e dall'abbondanza crostale sostanzialmente maggiore.
La tecnologia dei materiali catodici si suddivide in tre famiglie principali:
- ossidi di metalli di transizione stratificati
- Analoghi del blu di Prussia
- composti polianionici, inclusi fosfati e solfati di tipo NASICON
Ciascuna presenta compromessi distinti tra capacità specifica, plateau di tensione, stabilità strutturale sotto ripetuti cicli di sodiazione e costo di sintesi; nessuna singola chimica del catodo ha raggiunto il consolidamento di mercato che NMC e LFP detengono nel settore delle batterie agli ioni di litio.
Per quanto riguarda l'anodo, la capacità trascurabile di intercalazione del sodio della grafite lo rende inadatto, indirizzando la ricerca verso il carbonio duro derivato da biomassa o precursori di resina come standard pratico attuale, con gli anodi di sodio metallico che rappresentano una frontiera a più alta energia ma a rischio di dendrite. La formulazione dell'elettrolita - sali di NaPF6 o NaClO4 in solventi eterei o carbonati, liquidi ionici o conduttori di sodio allo stato solido emergenti - determina in modo critico la chimica dell'interfase dell'elettrolita solido che regola l'efficienza coulombiana del primo ciclo, la capacità di velocità e l'invecchiamento del calendario.
Le pubblicazioni e i brevetti elencati di seguito trattano la sintesi di materiali catodici e anodici, l'ingegneria degli elettroliti, la caratterizzazione dello strato SEI, la progettazione del formato delle celle, l'ottimizzazione del protocollo di formazione e la modellazione tecnico-economica a livello di sistema.
