6. Sodium-ion battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium-ion_battery

   Sodium-ion batteries ( NIBs, SIBs, or Na-ion batteries) are several types of rechargeable batteries, which use sodium ions (Na +) as its charge carriers. In some cases, its working principle and cell construction are similar to those of lithium-ion battery (LIB) types, but it replaces lithium with sodium as the intercalating ion.
