Jiana Energy Secures Hundreds of Millions in Series A+ Funding for Sodium-ion Battery Cathode Expansion

In its latest institutional survey, EVE disclosed that the company has built a collaborative system integrating hydrogen, lithium, and sodium multi-technology routes to reduce single dependence on lithium resources, covering diverse scenarios including AIDC, electricity ESS, and specialty vehicles. The company pioneered traceless sodium-ion battery technology, adopting self-degradable low-carbon materials to achieve recycling-free and natural decomposition throughout the battery life cycle, fulfilling the goal of zero-carbon sodium-ion batteries. In October 2025, the first large-capacity sodium-ion battery ESS was connected to grid at the Jingmen base. In December of the same year, the headquarters of EVE Sodium Energy broke ground, with a planned 2 Gwh annual capacity and expected commissioning in 2027.

As production order fully resumed after the Chinese New Year, the sodium-ion battery industry chain saw a strong recovery in March. Production across the four major segments—cathode, anode, electrolyte, and battery cell—posted substantial growth both YoY and MoM, with industry prosperity rebounding markedly.

Iron phosphate negotiations in April were deadlocked, with offers hitting 13,000 yuan/mt. The price surge appeared raw-material driven, but in fact reflected pricing power shifting upstream after a reversal in supply-demand fundamentals. Downstream buyers cited “cost increases” to push back, yet conveniently forgot the upstream losses quietly absorbed over the past three years. This was never about simple cost pass-through—it was a restructuring of profit distribution across the chain.
