Next-Generation Solid State Sodium Polymer Batteries for Stationary Storage Applications with a Recyclable Design

Under grant Agreement EPC-25-008, the California Energy Commission awards a grant of $2,000,000 to DarmokTech to help fund the project. The purpose of this Agreement is to advance sodium solid-state batteries (SSSPBs) for direct market penetration in grid storage applications by leveraging innovative packaging and cell design, which enables non-shredding disassembly, and solid polymer electrolyte formulations. This agreement aims to accelerate the development of safe, stable, cost-effective, and sustainable SSSPBs within existing facilities. Anticipated benefits include better batteries to serve California Investor-Owned Utility ratepayers, the electric grid, and the battery users.
