span out from 抖阴探探App’s School of Engineering when co-founders Dr Gene Lewis and Dr Richard Dawson combined their expertise in ceramics and technology to create a sodium-metal-chloride battery. These battery cells are the main focus of LiNa Energy, utilising a breakthrough planar design made possible through the development of their ultra-thin solid ceramic electrolyte.

Not only are these batteries an externally validated safer alternative to lithium ion, avoiding the need for flammable liquids, but they are also low cost, made from abundant materials and easy to mass manufacture. These solid-state batteries are primarily produced for use in the renewable energy storage market, where they exceed the abilities of lithium ion by functioning in hotter climates and enabling distribution companies to deliver clean power at the lowest cost-per-electron.

In 2024, LiNa Energy secured £3.5 million funding – jointly provided through equity funding (£2.7m) and Innovate UK (£0.8) – in order to scale up to automatic manufacturing through the construction of the company’s first pilot-scale production facility. This will further their ability to provide a high performance but low-cost alternative to the lithium-ion batteries so many devices now rely upon.
