Ariya

Ariya Energy is developing a solid-state polymer electrolyte for low-cost sodium batteries. Their polymer electrolyte is unique in that it has high ionic conductivity, enables the use of sodium (rather than the more expensive lithium), and simplifies manufacturing. Ariya is striving to pave the way toward long battery lifetimes (20 years) by protecting electrodes from harmful dendrites, a problem that shortens battery life.
