Sodium-Ion Battery Aging Model Launched by Twaice

As the demand for energy storage continues to grow, battery operators are seeking new alternatives. Among them, sodium-ion batteries are a promising technology. Although their energy density is currently lower than that of lithium-ion batteries, they have several advantages, including environmental compatibility and abundant raw materials.

Recently, the German battery analysis software company Twaice launched a revolutionary sodium-ion battery aging model, which is the first aging simulation model compatible with non-lithium batteries. This model will provide battery operators with a powerful tool to better understand the performance and aging characteristics of sodium-ion batteries.

The advantages of sodium-ion batteries are not only their environmental compatibility and abundant raw materials but also their relatively fast response time. This feature makes them more suitable for deployment in data centers (UPS) and other electric-based ESS markets. For automotive applications, the main advantage is the lower cost per vehicle.

According to Chinese sodium-ion battery expert Zhu Jianjun, sodium-ion batteries can be divided into different types based on their positive electrode materials, including layered oxides, polyanions, and Prussian blue. Each type has its own advantages. Therefore, battery operators need to understand the characteristics and advantages of these different types of sodium-ion batteries in order to deploy them more effectively.

Twaice’s new aging model will provide battery operators with a valuable tool to better understand the performance and aging characteristics of sodium-ion batteries, enabling them to deploy these new batteries more effectively. As sodium-ion battery technology continues to evolve, battery operators will be able to take better advantage of these new batteries to meet the growing demand for energy storage.
