Unlike conventional lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion technology leverages abundant and cost-efficient raw materials, namely sodium or natrium, reducing dependence on critical minerals such as lithium, nickel and cobalt. It also offers improved safety and thermal stability, key considerations for large-scale energy storage and mobility applications. This is in line with the emerging technological shift and market trend towards sodium-based battery chemistry, as demonstrated by CATL (China), Faradion (UK), Natron Energy (US) and Tiamat (France).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mrem.bernama.com\/viewsm.php?idm=53635\">https:\/\/mrem.bernama.com\/viewsm.php?idm=53635<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KUALA LUMPUR, March 2 (Bernama) &#8212;&nbsp;NanoMalaysia Berhad (NMB) has achieved a major milestone in Malaysia\u2019s energy storage ambitions with the development of a Graphene-Enhanced Sodium-Ion Battery prototype delivering energy density exceeding 300Wh\/kg, which is amongst the best in the world.
