Sodium batteries represent the most promising and short-term available post-lithium battery technology. The diversity of approaches for sodium electrochemistry covers commercialized high-temperature solutions with more than 40 years of development history, emerging LIB-like batteries and progressing all solid state storage. The variety of technological options is enormous and opens up a range of new possibilities for resilient and safe electricity storage.

The International Sodium Battery Symposium (SBS) is the conference for scientific exchange on sodium batteries in Europe and looks back on a six-year tradition with alternating organization by Fraunhofer IKTS / Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the research group of Prof. Philipp Adelhelm (Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin – HZB).

In 2025, SBS6 offers the unique possibility of parallel participation in the largest conference of the European Ceramic Society. 

The SBS6 covers all aspects of Na-ion batteries, from fundamental research up to systems, along with testing, markets and applications. The SBS6 wants to strengthen the community around sodium batteries and intends to enable an open exchange of information on recent scientific results, research trends, as well as market requirements. 

Universities, research institutes and industry are invited to report on their results, developments and forecasts or present their products and services as an exhibitor or sponsor at the combined SBS6 / ECerS 2025 event. 

We are looking forward to hosting you at SBS6 and ECerS 2025 conference.

Yours,
