The research collaboration began in 2016 when the Ticino-based salt battery manufacturer HORIEN Salt Battery Solutions, formerly known as FZSoNick, approached Empa. The company wanted to improve the ceramic electrolyte consisting of sodium aluminum oxide, also known as beta-alumina, in its battery cells as part of an Innosuisse project.

Salt batteries are ideal for applications like emergency power storage in critical infrastructure, such as mobile phone towers. They are long-lasting and maintenance-free, making them a...
Salt batteries use a unique, non-flammable, solid-state design that differentiates them from other energy storage solutions. Unlike lithium-ion batteries, which immerse the cathode and anode in a liquid electrolyte, salt batteries use a ceramic electrolyte of sodium aluminium oxide, often called beta-alumina, that keeps the anode and cathode
Langlebig und sicher. Die Forschungszusammenarbeit begann 2016, als der Tessiner Salzbatteriehersteller HORIEN Salt Battery Solutions – ehemals bekannt als FZSoNick – auf die Empa zuging. Das Unternehmen wollte im Rahmen eines Innosuisse-Projekts den keramischen Natriumaluminiumoxid-Elektrolyten in ihren Batteriezellen verbessern.

Originally developed for electric cars, nowadays they supply mobile phone antennas with electricity, and tomorrow perhaps entire districts: The salt battery is a safe and long-lasting battery technology with huge potential. Empa researchers are collaborating with an industrial partner to further develop these special batteries.

The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
