"With this latest demonstration of their support, our investors have provided us with the funds necessary to secure success", said Faradion CEO Lawrence Berns. "We can now move forwards quickly to proving and scaling up our solid state low cost batteries and, indeed, intend to demonstrate one in a dynamic environment very soon
Faradion's sodium-ion technology is said to have already shown specific energy densities in full cells in excess of other known sodium-ion materials. According to the company, its prototype cells operate at an average discharge voltage of around 3V and deliver a specific energy of more than 140Whr/kg.
Faradion's technology is being applied within 3Ah prismatic cells, being supplied to Williams Advanced Engineering as part of a project cofunded by Innovate UK (see image, which shows a 48 cell battery pack).
