Since the 1990s, one battery has quietly passed every cycle test in a European lab—and it’s still running strong. It’s not lithium, but solid-state sodium-salt battery.
Now, this groundbreaking technology just hit a major milestone: China’s first high-voltage (720V) solid-state sodium battery production line has officially completed testing in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, and entered small-scale production. That makes China only the third country in the world, after Italy and the U.S., to achieve commercial production of this next-gen energy storage solution.
🔒 “The safest battery in electrochemical energy storage.” That’s how the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Technology Review describes it.
✅ Non-flammable
✅ No risk of explosion even when shot with armor-piercing incendiary rounds
✅ Performs in extreme temperatures from -40°C to 60°C
✅ Cycle life of up to 7,000 times
✅ Ideal for grid storage, data centers, home/industrial backup, and military use
China is now leading the development of international sodium battery standards, aiming to claim the global high ground in energy storage tech. As the full project rolls out, the Ordos base will become the world’s most automated, fully integrated production facility for 3GWh solid-state sodium batteries.
