Project: Na.Ion.NRW

Development of a Sustainable Sodium-Ion Battery “Made in NRW”

in short

To reduce dependency on critical raw materials such as lithium and cobalt, the Na.Ion.NRW project focuses on developing large-format, sustainable sodium-ion batteries using locally available and cost-efficient resources—strengthening technological sovereignty in Germany and especially in North Rhine-Westphalia.
