Abstract:

Petroleum reserves like gasoline and diesel are running out, and since their use increases air and noise pollution, it is necessary to look at alternatives. Instead of using petrol, a new technology has been developed to reduce pollution, and currently extensive research is being done on batteries. Since lithium-ion batteries have the highest energy density of any commercially available battery technology right now, they are mostly used in this situation. Lithium-ion batteries have a significant price to pay for the great energy density they provide. In the crust of the planet, lithium is a scarce element. So utilise sodium ion batteries to overcome that.  The lithium-ion battery and sodium-ion battery operate in exactly the same ways. In this review study, lithium ion and sodium ion batteries are compared in terms of their energy density, life cycle, market demand, charging speed, price, safety, and operating principle.

Key word: lithium ion batteries, sodium ion batteries, working principle, environmental impact.
