EV Battery Component Maker Natrion Gets Closer to Solid-State Reality with High-Performance, Heat-Stable Multilayer Pouch Cells
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., Jan. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Natrion, a pioneer in electric vehicle battery technology, today revealed several major developments that set the company apart as a solid-state battery leader. They include achieving high cyclability for graphite anode Li-ion pouch cells; successfully creating high-performance, multi-layer Li-metal pouch cells that function without the use of external stack pressure; and developing a new Li-metal anode material that is cheaper and more efficient. Together, these promising developments heighten Natrion's trajectory and pave the way for commercial viability of solid-state EV batteries.
- As an update on its single-layer solid-state graphite anode-using Li-ion battery pouch cells initially unveiled in September, Natrion has announced that these cells have achieved over 500 cycles with virtually no loss of capacity.
- The company is also sharing data for its two-layer graphite and lithium-metal cells, a form factor which provides a realistic indicator of the cell's performance in an EV battery pack application.
- This indicates that Natrion's materials are scalable and feasible for real-life EV battery pack applications (which require multi-layer cells), without compromising performance or efficiency.
- Natrion is an EV battery pioneer helping enable mass-market EV adoption by making fire-safe, high-performance and manufacturer-friendly battery components.
