Battery manufacturer CATL and system integrator HyperStrong have entered into a 60GWh sodium-ion battery order deal, which CATL said marks a ‘turning point in the industrialisation of sodium-ion batteries’.
CATL announced the ‘three-year, 60GWh sodium-ion battery order cooperation agreement’ on its WeChat account today (27 April).
It makes HyperStrong CATL’s first strategic partner for sodium-ion in battery energy storage system (BESS) applications, and the system integrator will co-operate closely with CATL in technology research and development, product application, and project implementation.
CATL said that the agreement shows it ‘has overcome the challenges of the entire sodium-ion battery mass production chain and has the capability for large-scale delivery’. Specifically, it has solved the problems of energy density and process problems of foaming and moisture control during manufacturing.
