Sodion partners with UNIGRID to supply advanced sodium-ion batteries
Sodion Energy, a leading provider of sustainable energy storage solutions in Southeast Asia, has secured a 10 MWh supply of advanced sodium-ion batteries from UNIGRID Inc., a California-based innovator. These batteries will feature UNIGRID’s proprietary technology, including advanced electrode materials such as tin, offering a significant improvement in performance and sustainability over traditional materials.
Tin-based anodes are a breakthrough in sodium-ion battery technology, enhancing energy density, conductivity, and overall efficiency. By utilizing tin, a material with an established and mature supply chain, these batteries provide an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to lithium-ion solutions, positioning them as ideal for widespread use in e-mobility and large-scale energy storage.
The advanced batteries will support the growing demand for sustainable energy storage solutions across Southeast Asia. With fast-charging capabilities and improved safety features, including non-flammability, these batteries are well-suited for the region’s rapidly expanding energy infrastructure.
Sodion Energy plans to deploy these batteries in various applications, “These next-generation sodium-ion batteries will allow us to tackle key markets, starting with lead-acid battery replacements in e-mobility and extending into large-scale renewable energy projects and grid stabilization initiatives” according to Dr. CC Hang, Chairman of Sodion Energy. This collaboration with UNIGRID highlights Sodion Energy’s commitment to providing high-performance, eco-friendly battery solutions to drive the clean energy transition.
Tin-based anodes in sodium-ion batteries are a promising development in energy storage technology. It offers a clear pathway for next generation sodium-ion batteries to outperform conventional lithium ion, bringing a compelling solution to the growing demand for efficient, eco-friendly energy storage demands of the region.
