Meet LionVolt: The Thurso battery start-up developing unique 3D metal anode architecture for the next generation of batteries

LionVolt, a Dutch company specialising in advanced 3D anode architecture technology to be used in battery cells, is at the forefront of innovation in energy storage solutions. Following our acquisition of a battery cell pilot production plant in Thurso, Scotland and our €15mn investment to scale up production last year, we have expanded our production capacity and spurred innovation in the region.

The Thurso site is key to our product development as we have a 3D electrode technology that can be applied in next generation lithium-ion, sodium-ion and solid-state battery cells. Our 3D structured metal anodes bring more energy density to existing batteries, which means faster charging speeds accelerating electrification in terms of EV adoption, consumer wearables and even electric and hybrid flight.

Our priority this year will be to continue to invest in our manufacturing capabilities, leveraging the new capital and enhanced facilities in Scotland, bringing our cutting-edge battery solutions to market.

As hiring is one of top priorities for 2025, we are committed to hiring talented individuals with the skillsets we need from across the globe to support our mission. This year we will be growing our team in Thurso generating deep tech jobs in the region. We are keen to grow a diverse team filled with varied experiences and ideas, driving innovation and enhancing problem-solving capabilities.
