CerBaTec is a spin-off from the Jülich Research Center and develops sodium-based ceramic solid-state batteries for extreme operating conditions. The technology enables reliable energy storage at temperatures ranging from 85 °C to 300 °C—a range in which conventional batteries fail. This opens up new applications for the IoT in critical infrastructure, such as energy and industrial facilities, where temperature stability, safety, and longevity are crucial. The combination of non-flammable materials, locally available sodium, and a robust ceramic design makes the batteries highly safe, sustainable, and resource-efficient. CerBaTec thus offers a solution for a resilient power supply in harsh environments—a key to building resilient, future-proof infrastructure.
