Problem
Battery manufacturers and system integrators in Europe face reliance on imported lithium and cobalt, creating supply‑chain vulnerabilities, high CO₂ emissions, and exposure to geopolitical risks. Conventional sodium‑ion cells also suffer from limited performance, safety concerns, and the need for complex thermal management, restricting their use in robust, temperature‑unstable applications.
Solution
Litona produces sodium‑ion battery cells that replace critical lithium‑based raw materials with abundant, locally sourced sodium and Prussian White cathodes. The proprietary Prussian White production process reduces manufacturing steps, energy use, and cost while delivering up to 160 Wh/kg and an average voltage of 3.2 V. Cells feature zero‑volt discharge capability, eliminating the risk of thermal runaway and allowing safe transport and storage without active cooling. Wide temperature tolerance removes the need for complex thermal management, making the batteries suitable for rugged or maintenance‑free systems. Litona offers both ready‑to‑use cells and custom‑tailored solutions to match specific performance and form‑factor requirements.
Target Audience
Primary customers are European battery manufacturers, OEMs, and system integrators developing energy‑storage solutions for stationary, automotive, or industrial applications that require safe, temperature‑stable, and locally sourced battery cells.
