China has introduced tougher electric-vehicle battery safety rules that the industry says are difficult to meet with existing lithium-ion technology, boosting attention on sodium-ion batteries as a faster-to-commercialise alternative.

Demand for sodium-ion batteries is forecast to rise sharply, led by China’s push on transport rules and international standards.
