The Digital Ship Competitors

Graypen is an industry leader.

Faradion is pioneering the next generation of advanced, low-cost battery materials. These novel materials employ sodium-ion (Na-ion) technology which, when incorporated into batteries, will be virtually indistinguishable from the leading products currently on the market in terms of performance; they are however available at a fraction of the cost. In addition to the significant cost reduction, these next-generation materials are manufactured using more sustainable materials, since sodium is far more abundant than lithium and its salts are easier to obtain. By bringing low-cost, state-of-the-art Na-ion technology to the market, the Faradion team is accelerating the introduction of emerging technologies such as stationary storage (on and off grid) and electric vehicles. With its headquarters at the Innovation Centre in Sheffield, Faradion has gathered a team of experts in the battery industry, with an impressive array of skills and experience.
