Triple Lithium Ion Energy Density at Half the Cost

Planar Energy’s Solid-state Battery Potential for Triple Lithium Ion Energy Density at Half the Cost - University of Central Florida Confirms Researchers at the University of Central Florida’s (UCF) Advanced Materials Processing and Analysis Center (AMPAC)) have verified findings by Planar Energy that could lead to dramatic cost and performance improvements in large format batteries required for practical electric vehicles. AMPAC scientists independently confirmed that Planar Energy’s new generation of solid state electrolytes have ionic conductivity metrics comparable to liquid electrolytes used in traditional chemical batteries. It will allow solid state battery fabrication that will enable manufacturers to increase their capacity by 200-to-300 percent, while reducing costs more than 50 percent,‖ he continued. ―This is what the automotive industry needs to make electric vehicles practical and affordable.
