Abstract: Continued energy and climate concerns are increasing the need to develop new energy storage systems for the integration of intermittent renewable energy sources into the grid infrastructure. Sodium-ion batteries have gained significant interest recently as a viable potential solution. These offer an alternate solution to lithium-ion batteries that are at the forefront of consideration; sodium-ion batteries can potentially be cheaper, safer, and most importantly more sustainable than their lithium-ion counterparts.The work described in this thesis focuses on the development and synthesis of electrodes for use in sodium-ion batteries. Both an anode and cathode were researched, synthesised, and then electrochemically analysed.
