The ionic-conductive solid matrix makes all the difference. Traditional organic liquid electrolytes are flammable, volatile, and corrosive - when punctured this results in thermal runaway leading to short circuiting, combustion and significant safety hazards. This technology imposes size, weight and power density penalties on any batteries. In other words, there is a finite limit to this technology, and we have reached it.
Our Lithium Si PolymerOxide Composite All Solid- State Battery ASSB utilizes a revolutionary organic liquid free, fire retardant polymer composite gel electrolyte as the primary ionic-conductive solid matrix catalyst. This means complete elimination of previous constraints imposed by organic liquid electrolytes. The resultant battery cell is significantly smaller, lighter while maintaining higher energy density, higher operational thresholds, higher safety, higher discharge capabilities, faster charge times and a host of other benefits including superior vibration and shock-load resistance capabilities. The resultant battery can sustain this through a substantially longer usage cycle and service life.
Scalable Interlayer Bonding using next generation SuperSi+ Technology surpasses traditional Li-ion Cells and delivers >340Wh/kg at >1000 Cycles with future products slated for release projected to achieve >400Wh/kg with optimization at 500Wh/kg.
Our ASSB battery, being all solid-state, removes this issue entirely by using a solid electrolyte capable of sustaining ionic conductivity in extreme temperatures without the inherent chemical instabilities. In other words, there is no risk of fire, combustion, leaking, corrosion and any other shortcoming associated with traditional organic liquid electrolytes. The battery itself is one solid unit comprised of a proprietary layered construction.
A more efficient 3D lonic Conductive Pathway, larger contact surface, and lowered internal resistance increases energy density and cell life.
Non-flammable, non-combustible, flexible inert characteristics enables high ionic conductivity, superior interlayer bonding and extreme temperature tolerances of -40°F to 194°F.
Dendrites are formed from deposits incurred during standard charge- discharge cycles in traditional organic liquid electrolyte lithium batteries. These are unavoidable internal defects which grow every time you use the battery. When these dendrites penetrate the separator material, you get an internal short circuit. Dendrites do not form in All Solid-State Batteries because there is no organic liquid electrolyte. A solid-state battery can last substantially longer than the best conventional lithium without experiencing any of the organic liquid electrolyte issues.
TRADITIONAL LI-ION BATTERY Dendrite Formation and Cell Failure
Organic liquid electrolytes are like gasoline in many ways - they enable a high energy density system but in exchange are volatile, combustible and in the case of organic liquid electrolytes corrosive. It is shock, puncture and impact sensitive in addition to being susceptible to extreme heat and cold and in the case of extreme cold, ionic conductivity ceases altogether as the electrolyte freezes.
As you cycle your battery, the electrolyte itself precipitates accumulations which in turn leads to dendrite growth.
Dendrites are essentially conductive spikes which form, grow, and slowly pierce through the internal cell layers. This causes an internal short circuit, and the result? Dead Battery.
Solid Energies utilizes a proprietary formula to fully exploit the intrinsic characteristics of currently available materials in groundbreaking ways. The pitfall most companies fall into is immediately assuming that they need to find some “new material” but the reality is hardly that. That isn’t innovation – it’s laziness. Innovation is defined as attacking a problem with no prior assumptions and finding the most efficient solution. As Solid Energies has proven, existing materials are perfectly capable of exceeding requirements. Our solution is in better and smarter utilization of current materials to achieve superior performance without needing to throw out everything and start from scratch.
Compared with traditional organic liquid electrolyte Li-Ion cells, the All Solid-State Battery as exemplified by Solid Energies is a vastly superior system with a much higher capability ceiling. The chemical engineering of a traditional battery was ever designed as a sustainable long-term solution because the internal structural degradation is not only unavoidable but becomes more pronounced the more the cell is cycled. An ASSB, on the other hand, is designed with longevity in mind while supporting the day-to-day energy demands of modern electronics. Solid Energies is the only company currently with functioning All Solid-State Battery Production Demonstrator Cells boasting overall parameters of 3.7V/15Ah discharging at 5C with a recharge profile of 4.4V/7.5A input proving 0.5C fast charge and fast discharge capabilities. 5C recharge testing is currently underway to demonstrate the expanded capabilities of Solid Energy 3S Technology Li-ASSB Cells.
We supply integrated battery solutions for any application Military or Civilian, offering maximum flexibility and optimized performance at low adoption costs. Solid Energies offers industry-leading Solid-State energy solutions.
