California-based startup Inlyte Energy has announced that its iron-sodium chemistry has demonstrated stable cycling in commercial-sized cells, demonstrating the company’s readiness for scale-up.
The technology uses the sodium metal chloride battery design and relies on the abundant available iron and sodium (table salt). Inlyte prides itself on the technology’s dual use, citing its high efficiency for both daily cycling (4-10 hours) and its affordability for long-term storage (24+ hours).
Sodium metal chloride batteries were originally developed for electric vehicles in the 1980s and 1990s, but cost savings and scale were hampered by their cost structure. The Inlyte team is now optimizing this technology platform for long-term energy storage, replacing nickel with iron in an effort to achieve cost savings while maintaining high performance.
