Battery Live Talk
Current Landscape & Future Pathways
of Sodium-Ion Batteries
Online (Webex) | Thursday 30 April 2026 | 4:30 – 5:15 pm (CET)
of Sodium-Ion Batteries
Sodium-ion batteries (SiB) are gaining attention as a viable alternative to lithium-ion (LiB) technology. In our upcoming Battery Live Talk, we will take a closer look at recent market developments and what manufacturers should consider when transitioning from LiB to SiB.
Together with guests Montserrat Casas Cabanas (CICenergiGUNE) and Simon Lux (University of Münster), our colleague Sebastian Will will discuss the key challenges and opportunities, from production adjustments to supply chain implications.
What will be discussed?
- How is the sodium-ion market developing?
- Where could sodium-ion batteries find their niche?
- What transformation and spillover effects arise when shifting from LiB to SiB?
Speakers
This discussion format is free of charge and opens a channel for critical reflection on important questions that arise within the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) European Battery Innovation.
The event is organised by the accompanying research of the IPCEI EuBatIn, managed by VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH on behalf of the German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
