Sodium batteries (SBs) are seen a viable alternative, as sodium is abundant, and because the battery components and electrical chemistry of SBs and LIBs are similar, SBs are poised to take advantage of the existing infrastructure and mature manufacturing technologies of LIBs and can serve as a drop-in technology. This book provides an in-depth overview of fundamentals, advanced materials, characterization, functional mechanisms, technologies, and applications of SBs. It introduces a wide range of SBs and .
