Since its founding in 2017, Altris has developed Prussian White cathodes, electrolytes, battery cells and blueprints to create market-leading sodium-ion batteries. Now, the company can present a pure Prussian White cathode material with a capacity of 160 mAh/g – the highest capacity declared to date.
High-capacity cathodes are crucial for increasing the energy density of sodium-ion batteries. Following the development of its Prussian White cathode, Altris also measured its highest energy density to date in a commercial-sized sodium-ion battery cell, amounting to 150 Wh/kg.
Our cathode is made from globally available, abundant raw materials such as salt, wood, iron, and air, ensuring a minimal carbon footprint and a truly green battery.
A major advantage of Prussian white cathodes is that they are based on combinations of sodium, iron and cyanide, and can be made from relatively cheap and more sustainable materials than NMC (nickel, manganese, cobalt) lithium-ion batteries.
