Much of the attraction to sodium (Na) batteries as candidates for large-scale energy storage stems from the fact that as the sixth most abundant element in the Earth''s crust and the fourth most abundant
CATL is bringing sodium-ion batteries to commercial scale, with plans to begin mass production of its new Naxtra cells in December 2025. The move positions the company to challenge
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have emerged as a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the abundance, cost-effectiveness, and environmental benefits of sodium
Increases in the energy density of sodium-ion batteries means they are now suitable for stationary energy storage and low-performance electric vehicles. The abundance of raw material for making
Suited for stationary energy storage applications Sodium-ion batteries are poised to replace lead-acid cells in combustion engines and support stationary energy storage, where safety and cost
While efforts are still needed to enhance the energy and power density as well as the cycle life of Na-ion batteries to replace Li-ion batteries, these energy storage devices present significant advantages in
Sodium-ion batteries are promising low-cost alternatives to lithium-ion systems yet limited by underperforming anodes. This Review highlights advances and challenges in hard carbon and
According to Gao Huan, Chief Technology Officer of CATL''s sodium-ion division, Naxtra batteries offer a viable, lithium-free solution to meet the growing global demand for sustainable
While some applications like energy storage have switched to LFP, until now sodium-ion batteries have not been produced at the same volume levels. The question is, why?
CATL''s Naxtra sodium-ion batteries enter mass production in passenger vehicles starting Q2 2026. 175 Wh/kg energy density, 90% capacity at -40°C, lower costs.
Empa Solar Energy Europe is a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer and integrator based in Poland, serving the European market. We specialize in C&I energy storage systems for factories and warehouses, industrial battery storage systems for heavy-duty applications, factory energy storage systems (ESS) to optimize production, commercial battery energy storage systems (BESS) for retail and offices, enterprise storage solutions for corporate campuses, industrial park energy storage for multi-tenant sites, commercial battery storage for peak shaving, industrial battery storage systems for backup power, and remote base station power solutions for telecom towers. Our portfolio also includes lithium-ion batteries, system-level battery management systems (BMS), energy conversion systems (PCS), energy storage battery system cabinets, communication cabinets for telecom and data centres, integrated PV-storage systems, distributed energy resources, deep discharge battery technology, and containerised BESS. As a full-service provider, we also offer modular battery racks, backup emergency power, and zero‑carbon microgrids. Our advanced lithium‑ion and sodium‑ion solutions ensure safety, scalability, and high performance for commercial, industrial, and utility projects across Europe.
Our modular energy storage portfolio ranges from compact lithium-ion batteries to 20ft/40ft mobile containers and outdoor all-in-one storage cabinets with IP54 protection. We are a leading energy storage equipment manufacturer, offering communication cabinets for 5G/telecom, server racks for data centers, and IP54 rated enclosures for harsh environments. Our stackable design allows flexible capacity expansion, while our grid-forming technology ensures stable off‑grid operation.
