Solid Power has extensive partnerships with both BMW and Ford to jointly develop all solid-state batteries using the company’s Louisville-based megawatt-hour-scale (MWh) production line. The Clarios facility in Meadowbrook, Michigan, is expected to become the largest sodium-ion battery manufacturing facility in the world when volume. As a result, Solid Power’s all solid-state batteries are safer and more stable across a broad temperature range, can provide a 50-100% increase in energy density compared to the best available rechargeable batteries, enable cheaper, more energy-dense battery pack designs and are compatible with traditional lithium-ion manufacturing processes. The Natron Energy batteries would also have unique safety characteristics compared to other battery technologies and are expected to better handle the large fluctuations in power the fracking. In the USA, sodium-ion battery manufacturer Natron Energy and Clarios, a producer of low-voltage battery technologies for mobility, are collaborating on the production of the sodium-ion batteries. Founded in 2012 as a spin-out from the University of Colorado Boulder, Solid Power replaces the flammable liquid electrolyte in a conventional lithium-ion battery with a proprietary sulfide solid electrolyte. Solid Power is an industry-leading developer of all solid-state rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles and mobile power markets. XNO® also provides a unique value proposition for the micro-battery market and specific applications for the ESS, motorsports, and medical markets. This includes industrial and commercial e-mobility markets: rail, marine, AGVs, mining trucks and other off-highway vehicles, opportunity-charging e-buses and other high-utilisation EV fleets. XNO® materials are based on proprietary mixed Niobium oxide compositions and microparticle designs protected by 13 international patent families and are now being scaled-up to the multi-thousand tonne/year production scale. The differentiated technology helps cell manufacturers gain a technical and commercial advantage in high-value, fast-growing markets where end-users require the safety, low total cost of ownership, and unique performance mix offered by XNO®. Echion Technologies (Cambridge, UK) supplies its world-leading Niobium-based anode material, XNO®, to cell manufacturers looking to build lithium-ion batteries with market-leading safety, cycle-life, and fast-charging capabilities. XNO® enables batteries to fast charge safely in less than 10 minutes, with high energy density and a cycle life of more than 10,000 cycles.
