Argonne National labs has a new cathode material for sodium-ion batteries. Johnson’s team invented a layered oxide cathode tailored for sodium-ion batteries. This variation on the NMC cathode is a sodium nickel-manganese-iron (NMF) oxide with a layered structure for efficient insertion and extraction of sodium. The absence of cobalt in the cathode formula mitigates cost, …
BYD has signed a deal with local conglomerate Huaihai Holding Group to jointly build a sodium battery manufacturing base with an annual capacity of tens of GWh. FinDreams, BYD’s battery making unit, and Huaihai signed a deal on November 18 in Shenzhen, where BYD is headquartered, to build the sodium battery site in Xuzhou, Jiangsu …
Northvolt announced a state-of-the-art sodium-ion battery, developed for the expansion of cost-efficient and sustainable energy storage systems worldwide. The cell has been validated for a best-in-class energy density of over 160 watt-hours per kilogram at the company’s R&D and industrialization campus, Northvolt Labs, in Västerås, Sweden. Northvolt’s validated cell is more safe, cost-effective, and sustainable …
Warren Redlich has broken the news that the CATL M3P battery is sodium-ion and not LMFP (manganese). This was in the CATL July 2023 Semi-annual report. The CATL M3P battery has been rumored to be used in the Tesla Model RWD in China. The CATL M3P battery is rumored to be more energy dense than …
