Sodium-Ion Battery Water-Based Electrode Processing
Water-based electrode processing keeps coming up because it removes the most expensive and most regulated fluid on the coating line. I have run NMP and aqu…
Sodium-Ion Battery Electrolyte Salt Selection
Sodium-ion battery electrolyte salt selection is one of those decisions that looks like a purchasing detail and turns out to define cycle life, low-tempera…
Sodium-Ion Battery Presodiation and Sodium Compensation
Sodium-ion cells lose a measurable slice of their sodium inventory during the very first charge. On the production line that loss shows up as a first-cycle…
Battery Solution for Rail Yard Shunting Equipment
Rail yards are the least glamorous and most abusive environment in the rail industry. Shunting engines start, accelerate, brake, and idle hundreds of times…
Sodium-Ion Battery for Construction Site Temporary Power
Diesel generators still dominate temporary site power: cheap to rent, familiar, and nobody was ever fired for ordering one. But after twelve years building…
Sodium-Ion Battery for Electric Boats and Ferries
Sodium-ion battery packs have crossed the line from laboratory curiosity to a genuine engineering option for short-route electric passenger vessels. Naval…
Sodium-Ion Battery for Rural Water Pumping
I have spent more than a decade specifying battery systems for sites where the grid is weak or absent, and few loads punish a battery bank the way rural wa…
Sodium-Ion Battery for Cold Chain Pharmaceutical Backup
The first cold chain backup project I was pulled into did not fail because the battery was too small. It failed because nobody had written down what the ba…
Sodium-Ion Battery Black Mass Recovery and Yield
When we commissioned the recovery line for our sodium-ion pilot cells last spring, the first surprise had nothing to do with chemistry. It was the accounti…
Sodium-Ion Battery Passport and EU Compliance
What the EU Battery Passport Actually Requires
I have spent the last three years shipping sodium-ion and lithium battery packs into European industrial pro…
