Solidion Technology’s Lithium-Sulfur Batteries on a Launch Pad to Accelerate the Takeoff of the eVTOL Aircraft Industry
06 Março 2024 - 11:00AM
Solidion Technology, Inc. (Solidion), an advanced battery
technology solutions provider, began trading on NASDAQ (ticker
symbol “STI”) on February 5, 2024. Solidion is the merged entity
between Honeycomb Battery Company (HBC, Dayton, Ohio) and Nubia
Brand International Co., a special purpose acquisition company
(SPAC), based in Dallas, Texas.
For those who envision taking an air taxi to go from Manhattan
to JFK Airport or from the San Francisco Airport to San Jose,
California, without having to endure traffic jams or inhale carbon
monoxide en route, this vision of the future will come true sooner
than expected.
Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft is the
next urban transportation technology breakthrough. “There
are 288 companies in Electric Vertical Takeoff and
Landing Aircraft”1. At the heart of an eVTOL aircraft is a heavy
battery pack. The amount of energy that can be stored in a battery
pack with a reduced mass must be significantly increased before the
eVTOL industry can literally take off.
Industry experts agree that “eVTOL aircraft needs a battery
system with a gravimetric energy density > 400 Wh/kg”2. For an
air taxi to carry more passengers, a battery cell energy density
higher than 450 or even 500 Wh/kg will be required.
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are currently the only practical
energy storage solution capable of delivering such a high energy
density (theoretically >600 Wh/kg) to power the transition to
electric air mobility.
The Solidion technical team began development of Li-S batteries
in 2010. Solidion has built the most complete IP (including 100+ US
patents and numerous international patents on Li-S batteries) and
essential technologies for fully commercializing these ultra-high
energy batteries. These technologies, covering protected lithium
metal anode, quasi-solid or solid-state electrolyte and separator,
graphene-enabled cathode, and innovative battery cell-to-pack
designs, position Solidion to be a global leader in high-energy
batteries for air mobility.
The same solid-state lithium-sulfur batteries have the potential
to revolutionize the ground transportation with their inherent
safety and doubled the range on a single charge, given the same
battery weight.
Solidion welcomes the opportunities to form alliances with
strategic partners from various industries; together we can
accelerate the time-to-market of lithium-sulfur batteries and
accelerate the takeoff of the eVTOL industry.
About Solidion Technology, Inc.
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas with pilot production facilities
in Dayton, Ohio, Solidion’s core business includes manufacturing of
battery materials and components, as well as development and
production of next-generation batteries for energy storage systems
and electric vehicles for ground, air, and sea transportation.
Recognized as a global IP leader in both the high-capacity anode
and the high-energy solid-state battery, Solidion is uniquely
positioned to offer two lines of battery products: (i) advanced
anode materials (ready for production expansion); and (ii) three
classes of solid-state batteries, including Silicon-rich
all-solid-state lithium-ion cells (Gen 1), anodeless lithium metal
cells (Gen 2), and lithium-sulfur cells (Gen 3), all featuring an
advanced polymer- or polymer/inorganic composite-based solid
electrolyte that is process-friendly. Solidion’s solid-state
batteries can be manufactured at scale using current lithium-ion
cell production facilities; this feature enables fastest
time-to-market of safe solid-state batteries. Solidion batteries
are designed to deliver significantly extended EV range, improved
battery safety, lower cost per KWh, fastest time-to-market, and
next-gen cathodes (potential to replace expensive nickel and cobalt
with sulfur (S) and other more abundant elements).
