Sodium-iron battery startup to challenge Li-ion for extended storage


We've long relied on lithium-ion batteries for long-term energy storage, but they can be expensive to produce and maintain over the years. California-based startup Inlyte wants to offer a scalable alternative with its sodium-iron battery tech, and it'll soon manufacture cells to showcase its…

Several years later, Stanford graduate Antonio Baclig chose to run with sodium metal halide battery designs in his effort to create a utility-grade energy storage solution, and launched his own firm to commercialize it. The company has already been testing its tech at a pilot plant in the UK; manufacturing in the US with Horien's expertise could accelerate its ambition to commercialize its cells and sign up customers in the near future. Abhimanyu has been a trusted voice in the science, technology, transport innovations, startup and AI spaces for more than a decade at several global outlets, including three and a half years as the managing editor at TNW.
