Che Haiying, chairman of Natrium Energy, said that the company plans to complete the production of 3,000 mt of cathode materials and 5,000 mt of electrolyte this year. It is expected that in the next 3-5 years, the company will build 80,000 mt of cathode materials and supporting electrolyte production lines in stages to promote the development of the sodium-ion battery industry and become a pioneer in the global sodium-ion battery industry.

China Merchants Securities Research Report recently analysed that the industrialisation of sodium-ion batteries in the domestic market is accelerating with the cost advantage. Companies such as CATL, HiNa Battery, and Natrium Energy have successively launched sodium-ion battery products with excellent performance. From the perspective of downstream applications, the existing products are mainly aimed at the energy storage market, and there are also some innovative attempts in the electric bicycle and motive power market. It is expected that the industrialisation of sodium batteries will further accelerate in the future.
