Yes and: Their anode uses "hard carbon", not graphite. Apparently without sacrificing energy density.
This is huge. HUGE.
China dominates the graphite market and now has export controls.
IIRC, most current Li and Sodium batteries use graphite anodes of some kind. Northvote's use of hard carbon may prove to be an amazing cost and derisking advantage.
I know nothing about their novel Prussian White cathode.
I eagerly await the expert analysis of Northvote's anode and cathode.
