BEIJING<\/span><\/span>, Dec. 19, 2024<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — On December 12th, 2024<\/span>, Hithium launched \u221eCell N162Ah, the first sodium-ion battery specifically designed for utility-scale energy storage, at the second Hithium Eco-Day in Beijing, China<\/span>. Designed to excel in wide temperature ranges and high-rate discharge scenarios, the battery delivers outstanding cycle life, energy efficiency, high-rate charge\/discharge capabilities, and round-trip efficiency. The \u221eCell N162Ah is now available for global sampling, with GWh mass production planned for Q4 2025.<\/p>\n

There are three primary routes to sodium-ion battery technology. Traditional layered oxide and Prussian blue\/white technologies have limitations in cycle life and high-temperature stability that hinder their energy storage applications. In contrast, polyanion\uff08sodium iron ortho-pyrophosphate cathode\uff09 technology unlocks the potential of sodium-ion batteries due to its advantages in round-trip energy efficiency, low-temperature performance, and charge\/discharge rate. It is well-suited for utility-scale energy storage scenarios that require high life cycles, stability, and safety.<\/p>\n

The \u221eCell N162Ah focuses on a sodium iron ortho-pyrophosphate cathode with a hard carbon anode. Through Hithium’s innovation and optimization, it achieves long cycle life, high temperature stability, wide temperature range, high-rate capability, high round-trip efficiency, and superior safety. At 25\u00b0C and 1P power conditions, its capacity retention reaches 94.2% after 4,000 cycles and is expected to achieve a cycle life of over 20,000 cycles at a state of health (SOH) of 70%. Additionally, at 45\u00b0C, the cycle life improves by more than 5 times, with a capacity retention of 92.5% after 4,000 cycles.<\/p>\n

The \u221eCell N162Ah sodium-ion battery has successfully passed the rigorous safety tests specified in the GB\/T 44265 standard for utility-scale energy storage systems, including drop, crush, short circuit, overcharge\/over discharge, and thermal runaway tests. It also complies with GB\/T 31485 and has successfully passed the nail penetration test. \u221eCell N162Ah also features an ultra-long 0V shelf life. After being stored at 0V for 6 months, the battery experiences zero capacity loss and maintains unaffected cycling performance compared to a newly manufactured battery. During assembly, even if the anode and cathode are short-circuited, there is no risk of sparking or electric shock risks occur. In transportation scenarios, such as crush incidents or self-contained system overturn, the battery ensures superior safety without the risk of combustion or explosion.<\/p>\n

Hithium will continue to stand at the forefront of energy storage technology. By leveraging innovative technologies, Hithium is committed to exploring and unleashing the immense potential of sodium-ion battery energy storage and driving forward the development of the energy storage industry.<\/p>\n
