Sodium based batteries presented a new and promising battery system. This work attempted to develop NaCoO2 material using a new sol-gel method. The characterization of this sodium based material was done by using Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). Cyclic voltammetry showed that the material exhibit reversible oxidation and reduction peaks which meant that a sodium based battery was possible for this material. Electrochemical charge-discharge profile was performed to study the voltage plateaus exhibited by the material. It showed discharge plateaus of between 3.2 to 2.3 V and another plateau at 0.6 V.
