Recap – Battery Brunch Virtual – November 15, 2022
Posted on 2023-01-12
-
Many thanks to the Volta Foundation for the chance to hold a session on 'Commercially Viable Pathways for Solid & Semi-solid Batteries'.
-
Thanks to an interactive audience, it was very interesting to elucidate how solid-state batteries actually have a substantial commercial history
already in business critical, but rather concealed niches, like for the avoidance of power interruptions on printed circuit boards (PCB).
-
The barriers that tend to block direct up-scaling of existing thin-film solid-state battery technology were
discussed, and how alternative approaches have already resulted in market launches of solid-state or semi-solid Li-ion batteries in portable electronics and EVs.
-
The discussion evolved towards the latest polymers that are being investigated and patented, which hopefully will constitute a breakthrough
towards increased Li-ion conductivity at room temperature in combination with well-rounded mechanical, longevity, cost and safety characteristics.
