How to deal with solid state lithium ion battery industrialization better?

Domestic listed companies include the tech center, weft lithium can, Jiangxi feng LiYe, when science and technology, Hengdian east magnetic, chint electrical appliances will be solid. The battery is the next generation of reserve battery technology route. The United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea also all solid-state batteries in the layout, and the mentality is different. Such as the United States, mainly small, entrepreneurial companies. There are so three companies, has harvested at startup capital, the attention of the government and automobile enterprise.

Solid Energy Systems

Solid Energy Systems just over $34 million in financing. Although did not disclose the C round of investors, but existing investors, including temasek , Applied Ventures, general motors, saic and Vertex Ventures in China.

Industrialization of solid-state batteries quietly for the three start-ups do

Solid Energy Systems energy laboratory at the Massachusetts institute of technology in the United States born of materials science and technology company, was founded in 2012, the founder of Hu Qichao Donald Sado way battery experts from world famous at the time, the latter had support from the Bill Gates ˙ battery project.

Solid Energy Systems use ultra-thin lithium metal anode and at the same time have part of solid and liquid electrolyte, achieve doubled the battery energy density, weight is reduced by half. Have been small-scale trial production for prototype demonstration and professionalspecial market.

(Solid Energy Systems use battery pack in the field of space, to create "open-ended" flight, including cold weather running air restrictions such as height, weight and life through the technology can be improved)

Solid Energy Systems also is the subversion of the business model, they think for the future is the real mainstream markets such as consumer electronics and electric vehicles, negative material and electrolyte, to big Lithium ion batteries Manufacturers to provide these products, with the diaphragm and the positive integration for different applications (including unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), consumer electronics and electric cars) custom battery.

Due to the cathode and electrolyte materials compatible with the existing lithium-ion battery manufacturing process, by using the existing infrastructure to realize the mass production, this eliminates the need for expensive infrastructure investment. Solid Energy aims to build an open ecosystem, think it means more seamless user experience finally, faster prototyping and unlimited growth.

Technology has achieved the energy density of 450 WH/kg, is about now Power battery Twice the energy density batteries, Solid Energy Systems plans to market expansion to electric cars in 2020.

Solid Power

Solid Power is a start-up company in Colorado, was established in 2012, in addition to the university of Colorado at boulder and the defense advanced research projects agency (DARPA) fund, also won the U.S. air force, the national science foundation and the U.S.special defense agency.

In view of the traditional solid-state batteries in the solid electrolyte interface between LiCoO2 and high resistance, the defects of poor contact, Solid Power company scientists using ALD (atomic layer deposition technology) to solve the problem.

Solid Power battery materials using 100% of inorganic materials, there is no flammable volatile components, the expiration of the excellent and high temperature stability. See, on the whole battery system due to eliminate some of the characteristics of lithium ion system related safety potential consumption, greatly reduce the cost.

Solid Power now has a 7000 - square - foot advanced production base, with new materials synthesis, small batch test materials and battery production, and the prototype device assembly and characterization ability.

Solid Power last year cooperation with BMW will push the company to the front, BMW announced that it will advance together and Solid Power solid-state batteries (traditional power would be The lithium battery2-3 times) in the next generation of the application of the electric car research and development. Previously, BMW has defined the commercialization of the solid-state batteries node fuzzy "within 10 years".

Sakit3 project as a spin-off of the university of Michigan, has a history of 11 years, received from GMVentures, KhoslaVentures and itochu risk investment companies, and Michigan.

In October 2015, the company has been innovators dyson vacuum cleaner for the price of $90 million a wholly-owned acquisitions, applications in their products, in order to solve the rechargeable lithium ion battery life is not long enough, security constraints.

Sakit3 battery technology in 2013 when they won four patents, can be smart watches and other electronic products from 3 working hours.5 hours to nine hours, make the smartphone battery can last several days or significantly increases the range of electric cars.

Dyson has unveiled its last September, introduces the first electric vehicles by 2020, the latest information is more made clear their determination to building cars: first of all, there will be a luxury car limited (HALOCAR), followed by two cheaper models.
