Who is Faradion?

Welcome to Faradion, the world leader in non-aqueous sodium-ion cell technology that provides cheaper, cleaner energy. Our patented chemistry delivers a high performance, safe and cost-effective battery solution for key applications, such as transportation, storage, back-up power and energy in remote locations.

How much energy does Faradion use?

Faradion has reported (in 2021) a specific energy performance of around 160 Wh kg −1 for its large format pouch cells which makes its performance competitive with LFP//Graphite Li-ion cells of similar size and capacity. ... ...

Will reliance produce sodium-ion batteries in India based on Faradion technology?

Reliance aims to produce sodium-ion batteries in India based on Faradion’s technology. “We will work with Faradion management and accelerate its plans to commercialize the technology through building integrated and end-to-end giga scale manufacturing in India,” Mukesh Ambani, Reliance’s chairman, says in a press release.

What is Faradion's next-generation sodium-ion cell design?

Faradion’s next-generation sodium-ion cell design will deliver a rated specific energy in excess of 190 Wh/kg – this has been verified in prototype pouch cells and we are currently scaling this up to 32 Ah production-scale pouch cells.

Is Faradion a good cathode?

Based on the reversible Ni 2+ ↔ Ni 4+ redox couple with irreversible O 2– oxidation, Faradion’s first-generation cathode material delivered a capacity of 157 mA·h·g −1 cycled at a ± C /10 rate under the voltage window of 1.0–4.3 V, showing high energy and good cyclability.

Why did reliance buy Faradion?

Reliance Chairman Mukesh Ambani sees the purchase of Faradion as part of a drive to build a business in sustainable technologies. The Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries has paid $135 million to purchase Faradion, a UK start-up developing sodium-ion batteries.
