This week, the sodium-ion battery market has made remarkable progress. On May 26th, Qingna Technology's Phase I intelligent factory for large-cylindrical sodium-ion batteries with a capacity of 10 GWh commenced operations, injecting vitality into the industry. Regarding the market trends of sodium-ion battery cathodes and anodes, the demand for cathode materials from the downstream ESS market has led to rapid growth in products utilizing the polyanion route. Meanwhile, anode materials, as a bottleneck in the industrialisation of sodium-ion batteries, face challenges in cost and process despite the potential of materials such as hard carbon. Overall, sodium-ion batteries, with their advantages of abundant resources and low cost, continue to expand in fields such as two-wheelers and ESS. With the release of new capacity and accelerated technological iterations, sodium-ion batteries are expected to occupy an important position in the future new energy market.
