India’s role in advancing sodium-ion battery technology: a bibliometric study
摘要
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are gaining attention as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to the abundance and affordability of sodium. India, with its growing energy needs and focus on renewable energy technologies, is emerging as a significant contributor to global SIB research. This study analyzes a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of Indian SIB research from 2010 to 2024 using data from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric tools were employed to map publication trends, leading authors and institutions, collaboration networks, and thematic clusters. The analysis reveals a steady rise in India’s research output and global collaborations, particularly with South Korea, the USA, and Germany. Core contributions are observed in electrochemical materials and performance studies. The findings offer valuable insights for guiding future research priorities and policy development to strengthen India’s position in the global energy storage landscape.
