This is because its voltage platform and electrochemical behaviour is different to lithium-ion, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, the dominant chemistry for grid-scale BESS today.
However, sodium-ion has some advantages over LFP and thus may become more competitive than it in some applications, he added.
Sodium-ion ‘relatively compatible’ with mainstream BESS manufacturing
Energy-Storage.news: How will the sodium-ion batteries fit into HyperStrong’s existing products and architecture?
Dr. Jianhui Zhang: Our approach is to integrate sodium-ion technology into existing storage platform architectures rather than develop a completely isolated product ecosystem.
