Amid the hype about sodium-ion batteries, what's credible and what’s not? In this episode of "Catalyst," host Shayle Kann talks with Adrian Yao, co-author of a recent techno-economic analysis of sodium-ion batteries published in Nature Energy.

Greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, and water usage are all significantly reduced when – instead of mining for new metals – batteries are recycled, according to new research funded by the StorageX Initiative.

A thorough analysis of market and supply chain outcomes for sodium-ion batteries and their lithium-ion competitors is the first by STEER, a new Stanford and SLAC energy technology analysis program.
