Solid power solid state battery

What is a solid state battery?

Solid Power’s all-solid-state batteries remove the flammable liquid electrolyte and polymer separator layer in a traditional lithium-ion battery and replace it with a solid layer. This thin, solid layer acts as a barrier to keep the anode and cathode from touching one another, which would short the battery. It also acts as a conductive electrolyte.

What is solid power?

Solid Power is a pioneering developer of all-solid-state battery technology, focusing on sulfide-based solid electrolytes for EVs. It has designed a proprietary electrolyte to replace conventional liquid and gel-based systems, enhancing safety and energy density.

What makes solid power a good car battery?

Solid Power’s core technology is its electrolyte material, which Solid Power believes can enable extended driving range, longer battery life, improved safety, and lower cost compared to traditional lithium-ion.

Are solid-state batteries the next big leap in energy storage?

Solid-state batteries are often touted as the next big leap in energy storage, and Solid Power’s technology has distinct advantages over traditional lithium-ion cells.

Is Samsung SDI a solid-state battery?

Samsung SDI is making significant progress in solid-state battery technology, targeting an energy density of 900 Wh/L—40% higher than its current prismatic batteries. Its proprietary solid electrolyte and anode-less technologies enhance performance and safety.

Who makes solid-state batteries?

Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL), the world's largest lithium-ion battery manufacturer, is making significant strides in solid-state battery development. With more than 1,000 researchers dedicated to the technology, CATL has invested in solid-state batteries for nearly a decade.
