Sodium-ion startup Peak Energy closes Series A
Na-ion batteries are not capable of energy densities as high as lithium-ion (Li-ion) and are expected to last fewer cycles. However, they have the potential to be low-cost if produced at scale, coupled with an expectation of a lower risk of thermal runaway. Na-ion batteries can also use many of the same production methods as Li-ion batteries.
