IIT, Argonne team designs Li2O-based Li-air battery with solid electrolyte; four-electron reaction for higher energy density

Green Car Congress

The battery is rechargeable for 1000 cycles with a low polarization gap and can operate at high rates. The team’s battery chemistry with the solid electrolyte can potentially boost the energy density by as much as four times above lithium-ion batteries, which translates into longer driving range.

ProLogium to build €5.2B gigafactory for solid-state batteries in France

Green Car Congress

ProLogium replaces the fragile and flammable separator and liquid electrolyte in current lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with a robust ceramic separator and uninflammable solid-state electrolyte. Solid-state batteries can also reduce the time for EV recharge to a level similar to the time it takes to refuel an ICE car, the company said.
