Dutch start-up develops sodium-ion battery tech for solar colocation
Founded by former Tesla leaders, Amsterdam-based Moonwatt is taking a novel approach to sodium-ion battery technology, optimizing it for colocation with solar power plants. The company has raised $8.3 million in seed funding to accelerate its growth, with plans for a pilot installation in Europe next year and commericial deployments by 2027.
Czech company to provide cathode material to U.S. sodium-ion maker Natron Energy
Prussian blue material manufactured by Draslovka will become part of Natron’s sodium-ion battery supply chain. The Czech company plans to build new facilities on both sides of the Atlantics to supply the U.S. company's production.
Sodium-ion vs. lithium-iron-phosphate batteries
Researchers in Germany have compared the electrical behaviour of sodium-ion batteries with that of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries under varying temperatures and state-of-charges. Their work shows how state-of-charge during cycling significantly affects the efficiency of sodium-ion devices.
