Unlocking our Power
How do Sodium-Ion Batteries Work?
The structure and design of sodium-ion batteries closely resemble those of lithium-ion batteries. These batteries consist mainly of two types of sodium-embedded materials (cathode and anode), along with electrolyte, separator, and other essential parts. When charging, sodium ions move from the cathode to the anode through the electrolyte and separator, and during discharging, this process reverses.

Polyanionic Compound
The polyanionic compound cathode technology from Power Ahead Group features a chemical composition of NaxMy(XaOb)zZw, where M is a transition metal like Fe or Mn, and X represents elements like phosphorus or sulfur, and Z includes F or OH.
This compound is integrated with the olivine structure for enhanced thermal stability, safety, long cycle life, and high operational voltage. Developed through a patented process, it offers cost-effective electrochemical performance by using low-cost transition metals and enables high electronic conductivity due to reduced band gaps.
This technology allows for reversible sodium extraction, supporting the development of sodium-ion batteries with high energy efficiency and safety. It is geared towards fulfilling future demands for large-scale, clean energy storage and utilization.
Layered Oxide
Layered oxide cathodes used by Power Ahead Group feature a chemical structure denoted as NaxMO2, where M represents a transition metal atom.
This material is distinguished by its high energy density and robust overall performance, including an excellent voltage platform. Leveraging patented technology, the company optimizes for both energy density and longevity of the battery’s life cycle. To reduce costs, economically viable transition metals like nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn) are incorporated. The production enhancements have yielded sodium-ion batteries with minimal residual alkali and impedance, a broad operational temperature range, and sustained cycle longevity.
These batteries are designed to fulfill the demanding performance criteria of the durable sodium-ion battery segment, catering to energy storage solutions for indoor and outdoor settings, as well as for low-speed electric vehicles.
