Solid-State Batteries

Solid-state batteries replace liquid electrolytes with solid materials, offering significant advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries including higher energy density (430+ Wh/kg and beyond), improved safety by eliminating flammable liquid electrolytes, longer cycle life, and faster charging capabilities. Anode-less architectures eliminate the need for separate anode materials, further increasing energy density and simplifying manufacturing. Roll-to-roll manufacturing processes enable cost-effective, scalable production of thin, flexible battery cells.

The technology uses solid electrolytes that conduct lithium ions while preventing dendrite formation that can cause short circuits in liquid batteries. This enables the use of lithium metal anodes, which have much higher energy density than graphite. Solid-state batteries are particularly promising for electric vehicles, where safety, energy density, and fast charging are critical. They also enable new form factors for consumer electronics and can operate across wider temperature ranges. While still in development, solid-state batteries represent a fundamental advancement in energy storage technology.
