Among battery technologies, the biggest breakthrough that many different companies have been dealing with has been on developing solid-state batteries. The biggest benefit of solid state batteries is that they have higher energy density due to the absence of electrolyte liquid in them, less dendrite structures, and of course, they are safe due to the absence of flammable liquids.
Lionvolt is also working in this direction, but the developer has approached the issue from a different angle. The company plans to overcome the low conductivity of solid state by using 3D printing technology. With the advantages of this technology, the developer plans to both create excessive surface area by designing winding paths and speed up the electron flow by positioning the anode and cathode very close to each other.
In this way, the company plans to create a technology that is non-flammable, half lighter and twice as fast charging compared to everyday lithium-ion batteries.
Even if the technology is still at the prototype stage, it is of great importance for the future because although the production technology is expensive, it can be used in situations where money is not important, and it may become common in the future. .
The company, which has only received 4 million Euros with Series-A funding, continues its technological research by receiving 1.25 million Euros before the series. The product, which was being developed with the support of a joint laboratory within the technology development center TNO, established by the state for the last 5 years, has now reached the level of standing on its own feet.
