abstract = {In the face of rising demand for efficient and reliable
energy storage, this study evaluates the cost-effectiveness
of lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries across pouch,
prismatic, and cylindrical cell formats. Introducing CellEst
3.0, an open-source, Excel-based model offering detailed
insights into material and production costs for various
battery chemistries and formats, including post-lithium
technologies such as sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Our
analysis shows that NMC 811 lithium-ion cells offer the
highest energy density but have higher material costs due to
expensive cathode active material. In contrast, the
affordable LFP cathode active material provides cost
advantages over NMC. SIBs, particularly those based on NaNFM
111, are the most cost-effective at $54-$62 per kWh,
primarily due to cheaper anode active material and aluminum
current collector foils. Prismatic cells are identified as
the cost leader, supporting the industry's shift towards
this format despite other technological factors. Scenario
analysis suggests that SIBs withstand volatile market
conditions better due to lower material price dependency.
While production cost savings correlate closely with cell
energy, cylindrical cells are an exception due to their
manufacturing processes. This study underlines the value of
detailed cost modeling in battery development and
demonstrates the economic potential of sodium-ion batteries
in sustainable energy storage.},
