Sodium-ion battery technology has an inherent advantage over other power-storage technologies because it uses low-cost materials that are sustainable and widely available. Carbon is the preferred anode material for the batteries, and the collaboration is expected to leverage Phillips 66 s experience developing specialty carbon materials and Faradion s work as a leader in sodium-ion battery technology.
