Sodium-ion Batteries - Roadmap Article from the UK's Faraday Institution (Nexgenna)

Dear All,

The roadmap for sodium-ion batteries has now been published fully open access in JPhys Energy. Please take a look. This excellent article covers all aspects of sodium-ion batteries from basic research to commercialization. Enjoy the read. It was a fantastic team effort - so well done everybody. Feedback would be much appreciated.

Go Sodium!
