Opening of pouch cell prototyping facility

The project facility will play a pivotal role in NEXGENNA’s mission to advance the commercialisation of sodium-ion batteries in the UK. Designed to enable researchers to combine and test emerging materials from the NEXGENNA project, the facility will asisst the manufacture of cells in formats relevant to commercial production. Thus, in a virtuous cycle with academic research, the project team can address scaleup issues and drive towards excellence in cell performance.

By collaborating with industry partners, the initiative aims to bridge the gap between laboratory research and industrial manufacturing, thereby accelerating the path to market for sodium-ion batteries.
