Next-Generation Solid-State Batteries for Safer and Higher-Capacity Electric Vehicles

transportTestedTRL 5

Imagine if batteries didn't use liquid, which can leak or catch fire, but instead used a solid material like a ceramic. This makes them much safer and allows them to hold more energy in the same amount of space. It's like upgrading from a leaky sponge to a solid block of energy that lasts longer and charges faster.

The business problem

What needed solving

Conventional lithium-ion batteries are hitting a performance ceiling in energy density and present safety risks. Europe lacks a domestic industrial value chain for the next generation of solid-state batteries, leaving it dependent on Asian competitors.

The solution

What was built

A lithium metal battery cell technology using a hybrid oxide-sulfide solid-state electrolyte (LLZO-LPSCl) and scalable manufacturing processes.
