Product Development Pathway
(5 R&D Concepts)
Substituted NASICON-type oxide electrolyte: a reformulated phosphate composition that lowers dependence on a scarce, cost-dominant constituent while holding ionic conductivity at the level of the incumbent material and staying compatible with the cathode through firing.
Co-fired monolithic chip architecture: cathode, separator, anode and current collectors consolidated in one sintering step into a rigid, pressure-free surface-mount body suited to standard board assembly. Further concepts address interfacial-resistance growth at the cathode during elevated-temperature cycling, anode particle engineering for rate capability, and encapsulation integrity against cracking and moisture ingress at the package boundary.
Potential Synergies to Deliver Well-Rounded Cells for Application
A single co-sintering window binds electrolyte, both electrode interfaces and the protective shell into one process step – so each concept must earn its place within shared firing constraints, aligning cost, rate, high-temperature endurance and package robustness.
