Tiamat, longer lasting and faster charging batterys.
Revolutionary ion-sodium batterys, free from lithium
or cobalt, rare and expensive resources.
Iona MOOG
Chief scientific officer - Tiamat
Interview of Iona Moog :
After six years of research backed by the CNRS , we
have achieved a product that charges in 5
minutes, as opposed to the several hours of
conventional batteries.
Text over images :
Recharging 10 times faster.
Lasts for 10 years.
For the same price as lithium technology.
Interview of Iona Moog :
This technology will transform uses in numerous
domains, for example in rechargeable tools, small personal electric vehicles, or the stockage of of renewable energy.
Subtitles over images :
Currently electric scooters and forklift trucks are equipped.
Soon heavier large vehicles will use them.

CNRS/RS2E Innovation
Interview of Laurent Hubard:
Today, we are no longer at the laboratory stage, but at the stage of insdustrialization, that's why we are already doing electric scooters.
We are planning the launch of a small batch by 2020,
and to sell our batteries throughout Europe.
Tiamat designs, develops, and produces sodium-ion batteries in a standard industrial format. These batteries could mitigate some of the limitations of the lithium-ion batteries that currently prevail, such as charging speed, lifespan, and the cost of production. Located in Amiens (northern France), this young company emerged from the French Research Network on Electrochemical Energy Storage (RS2E) led by the CNRS, and now has a few dozen functional prototypes available. Some of them, including an electric scooter, will be displayed at the CNRS stand.
Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
