Macsen Labs Achieves Breakthrough in Sodium-Ion Battery Chemistry, Files Provisional Patent, and Advances Toward Pilot-Scale Manufacturing

Video Link: https://youtu.be/qJQrHt-apeY?si=7P4gCV1rXI3tryFD

UDAIPUR, India, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Macsen Labs, a manufacturer of APIs, dyes, and specialty chemicals since 1952, has announced a major breakthrough in Sodium-Ion battery technology through the successful R&D-scale synthesis of its high-performance Prussian White, a next-generation cathode material for Sodium-Ion batteries. The company has filed a provisional patent for its proprietary synthesis process. The material has already undergone optimization for battery use at the company’s electrochemistry and battery R&D facility and has shown promising results, driving the next phase toward pilot-scale manufacturing.

“It’s an interesting story, how a pharmaceutical company like ours entered the energy storage space,” said Mr. Achal Agrawal, CEO of Macsen Labs and the lead researcher behind the project. “While working on Prussian Blue as a drug for radioactive poisoning, we discovered its derivative — Prussian White, which was emerging as a leading candidate for Sodium-Ion battery cathodes. That moment of curiosity led us down this path.”

Exactly one year ago, with zero experience in electrochemistry, Macsen’s team fabricated a basic pouch cell inside a regular chemistry R&D lab, without specialized equipment. “We had no glovebox, no coater, no calendering machine, just our lab experience and synthesized material,” recalled Agrawal. “When that small cell lit up an LED bulb, we knew we had something worth pursuing. That spark led us to establish a full-fledged electrochemistry lab.”

Today, Macsen’s battery R&D facility includes an argon-filled glovebox for inert atmosphere handling, coin and pouch cell fabrication stations, electrode coaters, crimpers, vacuum dryers, and electrochemical testing systems, such as cyclers and potentiostats. With this setup, Macsen can rapidly prototype and test battery cells using its own synthesized materials, significantly reducing development time.

The company already operates a pilot-scale chemical synthesis facility, which is now being used to produce Prussian White at a kilogram scale. Through numerous experiments conducted over the last year, the team has gained proficiency in Prussian White chemistry and has achieved what is likely to be one of the finest quality variants produced to date.

Through its proprietary process, Macsen has achieved an energy density exceeding 150 mAh/g with Prussian White, which is comparable to Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP). The material also shows excellent stability, fast sodium-ion mobility due to its open crystalline structure, and compatibility with existing Li-ion cell manufacturing infrastructure.

“Performance-wise, it’s at par with LFP, but made from abundant, low-cost materials like sodium and iron,” said Agrawal. “And these elements are easily available, affordable, and free from geopolitical constraints.”

This project, originally incubated within Macsen Labs, is now being advanced under a dedicated entity currently under formation — ‘Macsen Energy’, which will focus exclusively on energy storage innovation and scale-up.

“The real potential of sodium-ion batteries lies not just in electric vehicles,” said Agrawal. “It lies in stationary energy storage systems that store and manage renewable energy from solar and wind. This is where India’s energy transition will happen at scale.”

Macsen’s current Sodium-Ion battery technology, using its Prussian White as cathode paired with a hard carbon anode, is well suited for applications such as battery energy storage systems (BESS) for grid and solar, household backup and inverter systems, short-range EVs, auto-rickshaws, two-wheelers, city buses, rural microgrids, and energy access solutions.

The company is now focusing not only on improving cycle life, energy density, charge-discharge rates, and optimizing electrolyte-additive systems, but also on reducing the cost contribution of other components of the battery cell. Macsen aims to develop economical form factors by innovatively combining low-cost battery materials, components, and manufacturing processes, especially for large-scale stationary energy storage. One inherent cost advantage of sodium-ion technology is its use of aluminium in place of copper as the cathode current collector, which would further reduce raw material costs.

To demonstrate the performance of Prussian White in commercial large-format cells, Macsen is setting up a pilot-scale cell fabrication line. The company is already sourcing equipment for this and aims to have the pilot-scale production facility operational by early 2026.

“We are trying to make a new energy future for India,” concluded Agrawal. “Sodium-ion batteries are India’s opportunity to build a truly indigenous, scalable, and affordable energy storage ecosystem.”

RWA ltd to Launch Worlds First Non Financial RWA Trading Platform

HONG KONG, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — RWA Group (formerly NFT China), a subsidiary of Digital Collection China (Hong Kong) Limited, today announced that the world’s first RWA (Real World Assets) trading platform dedicated to non-financial assets will officially launch in early August 2025. The platform aims to achieve compliant digitization, efficient trading, and global circulation of non-financial assets through blockchain technology, filling a structural gap in the current market.

Strategic Layout and Core Advantages

RWA Group (formerly NFT China) began systematically positioning itself in the RWA sector as early as 2023, establishing this as its core strategic direction. The company’s innovative RWA financial solutions have been piloted in the Greater Bay Area (GBA), a smart manufacturing center with integrated industrial chains. Hong Kong carries the mission of “Hong Kong for investment and research, GBA for manufacturing, global markets for sales” amid the fintech wave. Traditional factories transitioning to smart robotics face supply chain funding shortages, which conventional solutions like bank loans or financial leasing cannot fully resolve. Leveraging deep industry expertise and commercial insight, RWA Group designed a refined compliance framework to tokenize such cases, enabling front-end RWA-based NFT trading and back-end capital infusion into supplychains, successfully implementing the solution.

The non-financial RWA trading platform launched by RWA Group adopts the ERC-3643 protocol as its technical backbone. This protocol is a global standard for compliant asset digitization due to its robust security features, identity verification mechanisms, and compliance functions (e.g., transfer control rules), effectively meeting institutional users’ stringent requirements for on-chain asset management.

To enhance international appeal and settlement efficiency, RWA Group will achieve a major breakthrough: Beyond integrating compliant USD stablecoins on EVM, Solana, and TRON chains, the platform will support licensed offshore RMB and HKD stablecoins, allowing users to price assets and settle transactions using RMB or HKD stablecoins. This initiative may establish the first trading pair between offshore RMB stablecoins and RWAs, creating new application scenarios for offshore RMB stablecoins. It paves the way for global circulation of Chinese assets while providing international investors a convenient investment gateway anchored to robust currencies.

Market Opportunity and Platform Value

Despite growing global RWA market activity, the digitization of non-financial assets faces multiple challenges. Nearly all tokenized RWA products currently use financial assets as underlying collateral, constrained by limited professional investor recognition, illiquidity, fragmented compliance standards, and technical protocol in consistencies. Substantial non-financial assets—including rare collectible sand fan economy assets—suffer from severe information asymmetry in traditional trading models, hindering circulation efficiency. Simultaneously, the lack of unified standards for asset rights verification and pricing mechanisms complicates cross-border transactions with legal and regulatory barriers, impeding global value discovery. The market demands an independent platform dedicated to non-financial RWAs, integrating advanced technical standards, providing professional services, and enforcing strict quality control and transaction compliance.

Innovative Business Model

RWA Group’s non-financial RWA trading platform proposes a novel “RWA Exchange + E-commerce” model. Project issuers can exchange goods for corresponding tokens on the platform, while users can redeem tokens for physical goods. This integration of traditionale-commerce and RWA finance accelerates market entry and attracts broader participation from projects and users.

Building a Compliance Ecosystem andEmbracing Industry Standards

RWA.ltd platform actively participates in industry standardization, having joined two key RWA-related consortium working groups: RWA Technical Specifications and RWA Project Evaluation Standards, committed to fostering healthy and orderly industry development. Meanwhile, its Hainan-based platform Digital Collection China has issued China’s first RWA digital collectible redeemable for physical goods (non-financial assets), validating RWA technology’s potential in connecting real-world economies and its market acceptance.

Expert Endorsement and Compliance Progress

The operating entity possesses strong foundations. Major shareholder Fu Rao has extensive research expertise inWeb3.0 and the new economy. As CEO of the Hong Kong International New Economic Research Institute (INERI), he has actively promoted RWA and stablecoin concepts via authoritative media (e.g., Ta Kung Pao, Securities Times, LianheZaobao) since 2018.

Platform technology operations are jointly managed by INERI and RWA Group, ensuring design alignment with multi-jurisdictional regulatory requirements. The platform evolved from NFT exchange NFT China.hk, which holds substantial global compliance experience,including U.S. MSB registration and SEC-filed RWA-type NFT issuance in the U.S., making it an early pioneer in RWA tokenization. Transitioning from NFT to FT trading, the platform now focuses exclusively on non-financial assets. Building on existing compliance foundations, it plans to apply for operational licenses in open financial hubs like Hong Kong, Dubai, and Kazakhstan to enable compliant trading of securitized RWA tokens.

Policy Environment and ChinaOpportunity

Within China, regulatory authorities maintain strong focus on blockchain-enabled real economic development. Multiple policies support using blockchain technology to advance asset digitization and enhance circulation efficiency. RWA has become a hotspot in A-share, H-share, and U.S.-listed Chinese company markets, with relevant firms actively exploring RWA applications and collaboration opportunities in public disclosures.

Co-Building a Global RWA Ecosystem

RWA Group embraces open collaboration to build a robust ecosystem. The platform is partnering with investment banks to provide end-to-end solutions—from structuring to compliant issuance—for Chinese listed companies/entities pursuing asset digitization. It is also establishing partnerships with forward-thinking RWA investment banking partners across Chinese provinces.

As a core strategy, RWA Group will prioritize RWA conversion of high-quality non-financial assets from China (including Hong Kong and global Chinese-held assets), leveraging its global influence and compliance channels to facilitate worldwide promotion, value discovery, and circulation of “Chinese assets.”

Future Outlook: Innovative Financial Connectivity

Long-term, RWA Group will explore innovative financial models. The platform has incorporated a “coin-stock linkage” mechanism into its roadmap to deepen connectivity between crypto and traditional financial markets, pioneer new value-discovery pathways, and deliver diversified investment experiences.

Founder Statement

Fu Rao Tony, Founder of RWA Group:
“We are excited to launch this first global platform dedicated to non-financial RWAs. The integration of ERC-3643 and stablecoins, alongside our steadfast global compliance strategy, will enable unprecedented digitization and circulation of real-world non-financial assets. We are committed to becoming an efficient, compliant bridge connecting premium Chinese assets with global capital.”

About RWA Group

Headquartered at Hong Kong Science Park, RWA Group (formerly NFT China) was founded by professionals with expertise in blockchain, traditional finance, and digital asset infrastructure. Its network spans Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and mainland China, having successfully built an RWA tokenization and trading platform with advisory services and a broad user base.

The team’s cross-sector fintech experience has enabled tokenization for F&B, real estate, and smart supplychain assets, forming a closed-loop service system of “technology implementation to compliance safeguards to ecosystem expansion,” driving global collaboration and standardization in real-world asset digitization.
