Revolutionizing portable energy storage with an "anode-free" lithium metal battery
SolidEnergy Systems
The pursuit of high energy density battery is at the heart of smartphones, wearable gadgets and electric vehicles.
SolidEnergy revolutionized portable energy storage with the introduction of the "anode-free" lithium metal battery in 2014. It has 400 Wh/kg and 1200 Wh/L, twice the energy density of conventional Li-ion batteries, can safely deliver twice the amount of battery capacity for the same volume and same weight. And not just on paper, but in real batteries.
SolidEnergy demonstrates that its 2Ah battery has the same capacity as the Apple iPhone 6 battery but only half the size.
This doubling in energy density is enabled by two material platforms, dual-layer electrolyte and ultra-thin lithium metal anode, provide transformational energy density and safety across all rechargeable lithium batteries and can be seamlessly integrated into existing Li-ion manufacturing capability.
The final applications include drones, watches & wearables, smart phones, and electric cars. The dream is to power people's lives, whether they are communicating with loved ones on a phone or driving with family in an electric car.
