Sodium Ion Rechargeable Batteries

Vecor Technologies is excited to share our developments in novel sodium ion rechargeable batteries.

The International Energy Agency expects global battery demands to increase from 2400 GWh to 2.5 TWh by 2032.
As the world looks to energy storage solutions for renewable energy and EVs, it is vital that we ensure
this technology is safe, green, and ethical.

Our Goal

Through exciting applications of electrochemical processing, we are developing a battery that can power the future transition to renewables with lower costs and higher performance than other alternatives on the market.

With these unique applications of electrochemical processing for the fabrication of cathodes, we can achieve uncharacteristically high-surface areas. These allow easy engineering of precise compositions, morphologies, microstructures, and particle sizes with great precision to optimise battery technology.

  • Outstanding Performance — High energy and power densities

  • Long Life — Cycling stability of >4000 hours

  • Rapid Charging and Discharging — three minutes each

  • Low Cost — lower than any battery on the market

Squared centimetre to squared metre

Low intensity processing

45 min, 20°C, and requiring only a single piece of basic electrical equipment

Why Sodium?

Lithium-ion batteries emerge as the leading energy storage solution in a future characterised by renewable energy and EVs. However, the extraction methods for lithium is extremely energy intensive and leads to air and water pollution, groundwater contamination, and land degradation.

Comparatively, sodium metal represents a much lower impact source material that can be recycled and contribute to a circular economy.

Our sodium ion battery is projected to be unique amongst the market for its low cost and outstanding performance. Here is how our coin cell prototypes scale against current market competitors.
