Our take

Sention Technologies is working to apply advanced analytical techniques, including machine learning, to assessing the life cycles of cells. Its cell intelligence platform and sensor technology enable rapid, non-destructive diagnostics of electrochemical cells such as batteries, fuel-cells, electrolysers and super capacitors.

This allows users to gather rich insights into every stage of a cell's lifecycle, from production to re-use and recycling. Through this, the company supports the advancement of sustainable products and services. This in turn contributes to an accelerated pathway to net zero, meaning that Sention could play a key part in a more sustainable energy future.
