Solid-State Batteries

Summary on Feb 2021:

 * Solid-State Batteries现在面临几个主要技术问题而且成本太高（800/kwh，相比锂电池100/kwh）
 * 但Solid-State Batteries更轻，容量更大，充电时间更短；必将取代现在的锂电池.
 * 主要的几个研发公司：IBM, Samsung, Solid Power, Toyota, Chinese company Solid State Lion(跟NIO合作，但没有任何公布的信息）.
 * 大致的时间：

The first EV implementation may begin as soon as 2024 with batteries from Solid Power in cars from Ford, Hyundai, or BMW.

Mass commercialization of the technology until 2027 - 2028 as they will debut in limited quantities as luxury EVs at launch.

结论：路漫漫

 * IBM跟别人的路子不一样，是用quantum和machine learing造新的化学材料，目标是小家电的固态电池.

注意这家startup: Solid Power

 * backing by Hyundai (OTCPK:HYMTF), Ford (F), BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY), Solvay (OTCQX:SOLVY), Volta Energy Technologies, and Samsung.

 * May 3, 2021 News:
 * Ford (F +0.6%) announces an additional equity investment in Solid Power aimed at the further development of solid-state vehicle batterytechnology.
 * The automakers says the ultimate goal of the investment is to help deliver longer range, lower cost and safer electric vehicles for customers
 * With the investment round, Ford and BMW are equal equity owners, and representatives from each company will join Solid Power's board. Both automakers also have separate joint development agreements with Solid Power to develop and test its battery technology so each can meet the independent engineering and manufacturing requirements of their respective future vehicles

Solid Power to become the only pure-play solid-state battery company to trade on the public markets

Solid Power common stock and warrants expected to begin trading on Nasdaq Global Select Market on December 9, 2021 under the symbols “SLDP” and “SLDPW,” respectively

Gross proceeds to Solid Power from the transaction of $542.9 million from fully committed $195 million PIPE and $347.9 million of cash held in trust net of redemptions; only 0.6% of shares held by public stockholders of DCRC were redeemed

Of the shares voted at the special meeting of DCRC’s stockholders, over 99.9% voted to approve the business combination

Solid Power CEO Doug Campbell says the company is five years out from putting their batteries into consumer vehicles—BMW and Ford have signed on as partners. The company’s current target is an OEM battery that’s almost twice the energy density of today’s auto cells and that charges to 90 percent in just 10 minutes.

==== 另外可以关注的是GanFeng自己的FunLithium:====


 * Back in 2019, Ganfeng released plans to begin the operation of a pilot production line of solid-state batteries with a capacity. Through their wholly-owned subsidy, FunLithium, the production line is expected to support an annual capacity of 100 MWh.


 * While FunLithium was established in 2017, with $38.85 million in its pocket, the R&D team behind it has over nine years of experience in solid-state battery development and is led by a founder with 17 years in the field.


 * With 25 patents to its name and over 100 currently awaiting approval, FunLithium has made notable advancements in its battery’s layout. Achieving a density of 350 Wh/kg, FunLithium is ahead of many of its solid-state peers and far above the lithium-ion average of 265 Wh/kg. While their full solid-state battery has yet to undergo extensive cycle testing (over 300 cycles), peer results and expectations indicate that the company will be able to achieve a strong result.

Highlights:


 * Nano One is collaborating with the University of Michigan on the development of innovative solid-state battery technology.
 * Nano One’s proprietary coated single crystal HVS cathode material  is performing well in University of Michigan test programs.
 * HVS is inexpensive, fast charging, cobalt free, and suited for solid-state battery configuration because it does not expand, contract and stress the cathode-electrolyte interface like other materials.

Nano One® Materials Corp. is a technology company with a patented and scalable industrial process for the production of low cost, high performance cathode powders used in lithium ion batteries, and, today announced positive updates from a collaboration with the University of Michigan leveraging Nano One’s advancements in cathode materials for solid-state batteries.
