Descrizione del progetto
Batterie agli ioni di sodio: un’alternativa più ecologica
La start-up TIAMAT, con sede in Francia, sta sviluppando batterie agli ioni di sodio che contrastano la maggior parte dei limiti delle batterie agli ioni di litio o al piombo acido che oggi dominano il mercato. Il sodio ha prestazioni migliori in termini di aspettativa di vita e tassi di carica e scarica. È meno costoso e facilmente disponibile rispetto al litio, è meno dannoso per l’ambiente rispetto ai metalli pesanti e non è a rischio di incendio. La società punta all’uso della sua tecnologia relativa a batterie agli ioni di sodio su biciclette o autobus elettrici, carrelli elevatori autonomi, robot industriali e sistemi di stoccaggio di energia rinnovabile intermittente.
Obiettivo
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Its batteries can transform the fast-charging market, replacing outdated technology in electric bikes, scooters, forklift trucks, industrial robots, power tools and buses as well as power storage and supply for home and grid.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.
