University of Central Florida Researchers Verify Aspects of Planar Energys Solid-state Battery Approach; Potential for Half the Cost and Triple the Energy Density of Current Li-ion Cells

Green Car Congress

SPEED is a low-cost, high-speed, roll-to-roll deposition process, which is significantly more flexible and scalable than existing deposition methods, according to Planar. Using water-based precursors, SPEED allows for the direct growth of self-assembled films directly on flexible substrates or directly on top of other films.
