A new type of lithium solid-state batteries has reached 1000 charge discharge cycles. Developed by SOLiTHOR, the pouch cells’ cyclability results showcase improvements in energy density.
The cells were tested at a moderate temperature with external pressure (below 72 psi/4.9 atm).
The test was conducted to measure endurance, a key performance criterion for long-lasting aviation and maritime applications. Â The result was well above the accepted commercial target, according to SOLiTHOR.
Exceptional cyclability result
The test also showcased the successful demonstration of the use of SOLiTHOR’s thin proprietary Gen-1 Solid Electrolyte when paired with thin lithium metal and high-loading NMC cathodes.
This combination enables outstanding energy densities of 384 Wh/kg and 1,026 Wh/l at the stack level, obtained on a different set of cells. Such record-breaking gravimetric energy values are crucial to enable the electric…
