Hwang, Myung and Sun reviewed sodium-ion batteries, an alternative to lithium-ion because sodium is widely available and has similar chemistry.
As reported in: Hwang, Myung, Sun (2017). Sodium-ion batteries: present and future. Chemical Society Reviews. doi:10.1039/C6CS00776G
Dunn, Kamath and Tarascon reviewed grid storage: pumped hydro dominates, while sodium–sulfur, redox-flow and lithium-ion batteries offer options if costs fall.
As reported in: Dunn, Kamath, Tarascon (2011). Electrical Energy Storage for the Grid: A Battery of Choices. Science. doi:10.1126/science.1212741
