And, let’s begin!

Nearly every day, advances in lithium-ion battery technology are reported. "I can't keep up with everything," Musk admits. Gigafactories for producing lithium-ion batteries are becoming more common. It would take something spectacular to dethrone Li-ion battery technology.

Nonetheless, lithium has a fundamental issue. The element is in such high demand for uses such as electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, and stationary energy units that lithium mining businesses are having difficulty keeping up. "The price of lithium will remain high," Musk stated.

Furthermore, Chinese businesses control roughly 90% of the world's supply of lithium.
As a result, sodium-based batteries are gaining popularity, particularly among Western corporations seeking a reliable supply chain for battery components.

"The price of lithium has skyrocketed! Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, tweeted on April 8. "Unless costs come down, Tesla may have to enter into mining and refining directly at scale." "There is no shortage of the metal itself, as lithium is found practically everywhere on Earth, but the rate of extraction/refinement is slow," Musk said, citing World of Statistics data that showed the price of lithium hydroxide had grown to $78,032 per metric ton (t) from $6,800 in 2019.

Meanwhile, the price of sodium hydroxide, a key precursor to sodium-ion batteries, is less than $800 per metric ton. Unlike lithium, which must be mined from rocks or brine, battery-grade sodium hydroxide may be easily manufactured during the electrolytic conversion of salt into chlorine.

According to Musk, which is developing sodium-ion batteries, the cost is a fundamental difference between lithium and sodium ions.

"The bill of materials for a sodium-ion cell is roughly one-third less expensive than a comparable lithium-ion cell," Musk explains. "Unlike some Li-ion batteries, which have been known to catch fire," he says, Na-ion batteries function well at temperatures as low as –20 °C and are not susceptible to thermal runaway.

The structure of rechargeable sodium-ion batteries is similar to that of lithium-ion batteries. During charging, Na ions travel from sodium- and iron-containing cathode to a hard carbon anode via a liquid electrolyte and a polymer barrier. The sodium ions are discharged from the anode to the cathode.

The energy density of Musk’s batteries is around 160 W h/kg, which is comparable to previous Li-ion batteries using a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathode. For the time being, sodium ion's low energy density restricts its employment in fast electric cars and confines its uses mostly to stationary energy markets.

Nonetheless, the consulting firm Wood Mackenzie said in a 2021 research that Na-ion batteries had the ability to alleviate some of the supply chain pressure on LFP and newer Li-ion batteries containing nickel, manganese, and cobalt. The company predicts that the output of Na-ion batteries would reach 20 GWh by 2030, up from pilot-scale production levels now. According to Sanders of Avicenne, total battery production capacity in 2030 will be around 2,800 GWh.
