Descripción del proyecto
Baterías de iones de sodio: una alternativa más ecológica
La empresa incipiente con sede en Francia TIAMAT está desarrollando baterías de iones de sodio que superan las limitaciones de las baterías de iones de litio o de ácido y plomo predominantes en el mercado actual. El rendimiento del sodio es mejor en relación con la esperanza de vida y las tasas de carga y descarga. Es más barato y está fácilmente disponible en comparación con el litio, daña menos el medio ambiente que los metales pesados y no existe riesgo de incendio. La empresa orienta el uso de su tecnología de baterías de iones de sodio a las bicicletas o autobuses eléctricos, las carretillas elevadoras autónomas, los robots industriales y los sistemas de almacenamiento de energía renovable intermitente.
Objetivo
Existing battery technologies face a number of serious issues that decades of research have not resolved – charging speed, lifespan, safety, supply chain pressures and environmental impact.
Tiamat has developed a fast-charging, powerful, long-life sodium-ion (Na-ion) battery that is price-competitive with its lithium and lead acid equivalents.
Its batteries can transform the fast-charging market, replacing outdated technology in electric bikes, scooters, forklift trucks, industrial robots, power tools and buses as well as power storage and supply for home and grid.
Tiamat’s initial target market – which does not include mobile phones, laptops and tablets – was some 7 billion euros as of 2017 and is forecast to grow to at least 20 billion euros by 2025.
The company is the only start-up looking to commercialise a full Na-ion based product that can compete with Lithium-ion batteries in the same energy density category.
Its batteries directly challenge the decades-old, and arguably archaic lead-acid battery technology that is the automotive standard.
Tiamat’s technology can be stored at zero Volts, making its products safe and easy to store, handle and transport. No copper, nickel or cobalt are used in the batteries – avoiding humanitarian and environmental issues associated with mining those elements.
We are partnering with cell integrators, major battery manufacturers and automotive companies to validate and test our batteries in a wide range of applications.
Tiamat has access to one of the most advanced battery research facilities in Europe and some of the world’s most accomplished energy storage scientists.
