Faradion, based in Sheffield, UK, was one of the first companies
on the sodium ion battery scene. ‘We have
a range of cathode materials patented, but our preferred composition right now
is a sodium–nickel layered oxide,’ explains Jerry Barker, chief
technology officer at Faradion. Graphite can’t be used as the anode in sodium
ion batteries; it is not energetically favourable to put sodium in between the
graphene layers. Faradion is using a hard carbon anode, a popular choice amongst
sodium ion battery developers, and NaPF6 electrolyte.
Alongside
batteries for renewable energy storage, Faradion is also developing replacements
for lead acid batteries in both low cost electric transport – such as e-bikes,
e-scooters and e-rickshaws – and for vehicle starter, lighting and ignition
(SLI) purposes. ‘We've done home storage system, e-bike and golf trolley
demonstrators to show that this technology is for real,’ says Barker. ‘We're
not anticipating manufacturing the batteries ourselves. We are relicensing the
technology now to existing lithium ion manufacturers and new entrants in the
field.’ He says they will hit the shelves: ‘hopefully, fairly soon ’.
Best, Jerry
