Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
This Special Issue on sodium ion batteries is focused on new sodium ion battery technologies. Can we boost the performance and cost properties of a sodium ion battery by pushing the boundaries of the materials, manufacturing processes, and device manufacture?
In order to establish sodium ion as a credible technology, it must be either a suitable alternative to current lithium ion technologies or have a market of its own. Can sodium ion provide technology suitable for new applications?
This edition discusses the suitability of sodium ion batteries for applications and pushes the current performance limits of device performance.
