Why Sodium-ion?
Energy storage engineered for controlled behaviour.
Sodium-ion technology offers a different approach to stationary energy storage. Rather than prioritising maximum energy density, TECNED’s platform focuses on safety, predictable behaviour and long-term operation in professional indoor environments.

THE TECHNOLOGY
Why NFPP-based sodium-ion?
Sodium-ion is not a single chemistry. TECNED deliberately selects NFPP-based cells because they offer strong thermal stability and predictable lifetime behaviour for stationary infrastructure applications.
| Feature | NFPP (Polyanionic) | Layered Oxides | Prussian White (PBA) |
| Crystal Structure | 3D Polyanionic / NASICON framework | 2D Layered sheets (similar to NMC) | Open-framework cubic lattice |
| Energy Density | Lowest (~100–120 Wh/kg) | Highest (~140–175 Wh/kg) | Medium-High (~155–170 Wh/kg) |
| Cycle Life | Exceptional (8,000 to 10,000+ cycles) | Shortest (2,000 to 4,000 cycles) | Moderate (2,000 to 5,000 cycles) |
| Thermal Runaway | Highest safety (>270°C) | Lowest stability (~160°C–200°C) | Safe (unless severe overcharge occurs) |
| Principal Benefit | Extreme durability & absolute safety | Highest capacity & drop-in manufacturing | Low raw material cost & cold performance |
| Main Application | Indoor energy storage / back-up | Micro EVs, scooters, compact cars | Large scale power back-up |
Conclusion: NFPP chemistry prioritises safety and predictability over maximum energy density. This aligns with TECNED’s design philosophy for indoor ESS, energy-optimised UPS systems, and long-life 48 V architectures where controlled behaviour and insurer-friendly risk profiles are essential.
UPS Battery Performance Comparison
Sodium-ion vs. Lead-acid vs. LFP measured by UPS-critical metrics
Cycle Life (cycles)
Cost per kWh ($)
Operating Temp Range (°C)
| Behavior | NFPP sodium-ion | LFP lithium-ion |
| Deep cycle Life | Ultra-Long deep cycle life due to rigid crystal lattice | LFP lifespan declines when cycled at high depth |
| Low temperature operation | No preheating required. No adverse effect / dendrite formation | Preheating required to prevent dendrite formation |
| Heavy mechanical abuse | Failure results in lower temperature events / cell to cell propagation less likely | Failure cause high temperature catastrophic events causing cell to cell propagation |
| Heavy electrical abuse | Higher resistance against overvoltage | Overvoltage will cause failure |
| Metal deposition at negative electrode (note) | Unlikely, limited deposits only under extreme abuse | Main cause for short circuit and failure |
| Dangerous gas release in failure mode | Primary non-toxic/lower risk gases | hazardous, carbon-rich smoke / vapors |
| SEI layer stability | Low resistance, highly stable SEI layer prevents spike grow | Repeated SEI layer reconstruction allow spikes grow |
| Oxygen release during failure mode | Stronger resistance to oxygen release and thermal runaway | Less strong bonding to oxygen due to less ridged crystal structure |
