Super Sodium New Energy

What Super Sodium New Energy does

Super Sodium New Energy (Huzhou Chaona New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.) is a Chinese sodium-ion battery technology company founded in 2021 in Huzhou, Zhejiang, as a spin-off of Professor Jiang Yinzhu's sodium-ion battery research team at Zhejiang University. The company offers a full-stack sodium-ion battery portfolio spanning precursor materials, layered oxide cathode materials (single-crystal S1T1, S3T1; polycrystalline P1T1), low-cost Prussian blue/white cathode material (PBT1), proprietary electrolytes (S40, CN-145, CN-146, PA002) and additives (A05, S02, K01), as well as downstream cells (high-power pouch cells up to 150C discharge), residential energy storage cabinets, and commercial energy storage modules.

The company monetizes across three primary revenue streams: (1) sale of cathode materials, electrolytes, and additives to battery manufacturers and integrators (40+ materials customers cited); (2) sale of sodium-ion battery cells and complete energy storage systems; and (3) OEM/private-label battery packs for vehicle manufacturers. Pricing is quote-based and volume-negotiated; volume-based unit pricing applies to multi-year contracts such as the Tail Electric two-wheeled EV supply agreement (expected 2M+ sets/year). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by industry events (CIBF, World Battery Industry Expo, Gaogong Sodium Battery Industry Summit) and a channel partner consortium called the 'Sodium Electricity Alliance' that includes Meituan, State Power Investment, Zhongxin Zhihui, and Zhongying Capital.

Key customers include Tail Electric (exclusive sodium-ion supplier for electric two-wheelers), China State Construction Engineering (40kWh building storage and mobile storage containers), State Power Investment Corporation (200kW grid storage win, Ningdong 100MW/200MWh project), State Grid and Southern Power Grid (grid-scale storage cooperation), and Pakistan RIC Group (South Asia distribution, May 2026). The company holds 111+ invention patent applications (24 granted) plus 1 PCT, has ~130 employees as of August 2023 with >60% in R&D, and operates manufacturing capacity across four sites in Huzhou (HQ + 20,000-ton electrolyte line), Anji (2,000-ton cathode + pilot line), Wenzhou/Qilan (GWh-class cell production), and Sichuan Mianzhu (Phase 1 20,000-ton Prussian blue cathode material; 80,000-ton total planned). Multiple subsidiaries (Zhejiang Chaona New Energy Materials, Sichuan Chaona New Energy Technology, Zhejiang Qilan Battery Technology) execute the vertical-integration strategy, with a Zhejiang Huhu Energy subsidiary planning 20GWh of cell and module capacity at 11 billion RMB total investment.
