Solid-state Electrolyte for Lithium Batteries
Overview
NAMI has developed an all solid-state lithium metal battery with an in-situ polymerized composite solid state electrolyte.
Commercialisation opportunities
Non-exclusive licensing
Problem addressed
NAMI’s solid-state lithium metal battery can work under low temperature down to -20°C. The solid state electrolyte has a high ionic conductivity (>10E-3 S/cm) over inorganic solid state electrolyte.
Innovation
- NAMI’s solid electrolyte is fully compatible with existing lithium ion battery fabrication process and tools as the electrolyte is applied via a liquid precursor followed by an in-situ polymerized once applied.
- It does not require new battery fabrication scheme as the typical inorganic and brittle solid electrolytes do.
- The electrode-electrolyte interface impedance is reduced and the battery cycle life is extended by reducing the dendrite formation.
Key impact
- High gravimetric energy density
- Lightweight and safe
- Fully compatible with existing process
- Cost-effective
