SOCIETAL NEED

Shape 271
High energy density energy storage technologies are key to the ambitious societal aspirations of the 21st century of a cleaner environment.
Safe electric propulsion for terrestrial or aerial vehicles and energy storage for utilities are key tenets of clean, renewable energy. Lithium ion batteries are the lead contender to fulfill these objectives, but current systems cannot fully support these expectations.

Solid state batteries are widely considered to be the next generation of lithium ion battery technology with energy densities above 350 Wh/kg. This next generation battery will be rapidly adopted by the space, military and drone markets.

In the mid-term time frame, solid state batteries will be embraced for portable electronics and niche aviation.
In the long term, as this technology inevitably advances into commodity batteries, it will make its way into mainstream markets including EVs.

Remarkable societal, environmental and scientific breakthroughs will emerge from the success of developing safer and more energetic batteries which will lead to better paying and more rewarding jobs. These batteries will usher in the ubiquitous use of renewable energy which will promote a cleaner environment.
