The reserves of sodium compounds are vast, and are relatively cheaper than those of lithium-containing chemicals. Take carbonate materials as an example: The cost of trona, the precursor for the production of sodium carbonate, is about 135–165 USD per tonne, in comparison with lithium carbonate at about 5000 USD per tonne in 2010.
Before the viability of a cell formulation can be assessed for implementation in commercial sodium ion batteries, processes applied in cell production should be validated and optimized.
