Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are gaining traction as a more sustainable and potentially lower-cost alternative to lithium-ion batteries. The focus for NASICON (Sodium Superionic Conductor) materials in SIBs seems to be shifting towards their potential as solid electrolytes. Unlike traditional liquid electrolytes, solid electrolytes offer the potential for improved safety and potentially higher energy density. With their exceptional Na-ion conductivity, NASICON materials are well-suited for this role. However, research and development of these materials is still ongoing and optimization is essential for use in practical battery applications.
Overall, NASICON materials remain a fascinating area of research for SIBs. While their use as cathodes faces some obstacles, their potential as solid electrolytes is very exciting. Continued research on NASICON materials and other solid electrolytes is key to unlocking the full potential of safe, high-performing, and practical sodium-ion batteries.
Sodium Aluminum Titanium Phosphate (Na1.3Al0.3Ti1.7P3O12), often abbreviated as “NATP,” is a NASICON material being explored as a potential solid electrolyte material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Our NANOMYTE® NAB-1000 (NATP powder) is available for purchase in quantities of 50 grams, 100 grams, 250 grams, 500 grams, 1 kilogram and more.
