Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems (IKTS) has developed a low-cost, ceramic high-temperature battery for stationary storage. The new technology is based on the use of an ultra-thin film that can be easily integrated into existing batteries. Another essential component of the battery is a ceramic sodium ion-conductor based on aluminum oxide, nickel and iron. half that of lithium-ion batteries. IKTS said the module achieved a 90% efficiency with an energy density of 130 W/kg, and would be ready for production in the coming months.
