Echion Technologies, a developer of next generation materials for Lithium-Ion batteries has secured a £16m Series A funding round. Its products deliver a unique combination of fast-charging capability, cost-effectiveness, and high energy density, vital for the world’s shift towards decarbonisation through pervasive electrification.
