Welcome to the forty-fourth issue of “Sodium-ion Batteries Technology Updates,” a series from Indi Energy, one of the world’s leading sodium battery companies and India’s first indigenous sodium-ion battery manufacturers.

Indi Energy is a DRDO 3.0, NSA’22, & SIDBI Environmental Challenge’24 winner and one of the world’s leading sodium battery companies involved in developing, and commercializing sodium-ion batteries and customizable sodium-ion battery packs.

As part of the Make in India initiative, Indi Energy has its own supply chain for our sodium-ion batteries, which is completely indigenous, a.k.a. homegrown. We are setting a new benchmark in the energy storage sector by transforming energy storage solutions sustainably. 

In this forty-fourth issue of sodium-ion battery technology updates, we will go through the recent updates in the world of sodium-ion batteries, the energy sector, and an overview of the global energy outlook. 

Indi Energy Sodium-ion batteries – The Path to Sustainable Energy!

At Indi Energy, one of the world’s leading sodium battery companies, we are often asked, “Why did you dedicate our lives to sodium-ion battery technology?”

Here’s our answer! The energy crisis is a long-term challenge that requires immediate and collective action. Reducing global dependence on fossil fuels is only possible with an efficient energy storage system. Lithium-ion batteries led the way, but our founders knew the time was coming for a truly sustainable alternative—an innovation that would be the pinnacle of battery storage evolution.

We chose sodium-ion battery technology because:

1. Abundant: Sodium is the sixth most abundant metal on Earth.
2. Inexpensive: At $200–$300 per metric ton, sodium is far more affordable than lithium, which can reach $37,000!
3. Eco-Friendly: Unlike lithium mining, sodium is extracted from saltwater, preserving flora and fauna.
4. Safe: Sodium-ion batteries are non-flammable and boast a longer lifespan due to the absence of thermal runaway.

After a long and arduous journey filled with trials and errors, we finally developed India’s first indigenously produced sodium-ion pouch cell, an achievement that marked the dawn of a new era. Indi Energy’s Sodium ion battery cells have a working voltage range of 3.0-3.8 V, offering a gravimetric energy density of 120-140 Wh/kg, and a lifespan exceeding 3000 cycles! We are committed to continually advancing sodium-ion technology at Indi Energy to ensure a sustainable future. With us, a sustainable future isn’t just a vision—it’s an achievable target.

From heating hazards to High-speed charging!

Have you ever wondered, why are sodium-ion batteries better for fast chargers than lithium-ion batteries? Unlike lithium-ion batteries, which are prone to thermal runaways, sodium-ion batteries have superior thermal stability, allowing them to be charged and discharged at high rates without experiencing heating issues. This gives sodium-ion batteries a significant advantage over lithium-ion technology!

Indi Energy’s sodium-ion batteries eliminate the risks associated with thermal runaway, such as failure, fire, or even explosion, by effectively managing the heat generated during high-rate charging and discharging without compromising safety. They excel in fast-charging applications, offering exceptional performance. We believe in pushing the boundaries of battery technology to create safer, faster, and more efficient energy storage solutions. Join us in revolutionizing the energy storage landscape with safer and more efficient sodium-ion technology. Together, we’re building a sustainable future! 🚀🌿 

At Indi Energy, we are harnessing sodium, one of Earth’s most abundant elements, integrating it with our proprietary, BioBlackTM—bio waste and agricultural waste derived organic hard carbon, sodium-ion cathode, and sustainable liquid sodium electrolyte. They form the core components of our sodium-ion batteries and customizable sodium-ion battery packs, capable of delivering optimum performance while setting the industry’s highest safety standards. 

Our sodium-ion battery technology represents a cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternative to traditional lithium-based batteries 🔋, ensuring affordable and accessible energy storage solutions that will promote sustainable energy practices, benefiting society and driving economic growth.

The potential impact of our sodium-ion batteries on climate action has led to Energy Alternatives India and The Better India naming Indi Energy as one of its “Top 100 Innovative Indian Startups in Climate Action,” and “5 Innovating Startups Revolutionising India’s Renewable Energy Sector.”
