High Performance Battery (HPB) in Bonn, Germany has achieved a major breakthrough in battery and storage technology with the world’s first solid-state battery that is production ready. This new technology could be applied to stationary storage, charging infrastructures, and the automotive industry.
CEO of HPB, Sebastian Heinz, commented on the breakthrough: “We are not only opening a new chapter in battery technology, but are also making a decisive contribution to the energy transition and climate protection worldwide.”
The battery has shown significantly better values and characteristics compared to the dominant lithium-ion batteries. It has a longevity of at least 12,500 charging cycles, with a comparable load, compared to the conventional lithium-ion’s 1,250 cycles. It also has a non-flammable solid-state electrolyte, making it a safer option. In addition, it has a 50 percent better environmental balance than lithium-ion technology.
The conductivity of the battery is also improved, with an available power that is greater even at extreme temperatures.
HPB is now in contact with potential licensees to ensure a rapid market introduction of the technology in many areas of the world. Heinz concluded: “We are already holding intensive talks – not only in Germany and Europe. In India, too, people are very open to implementing our technology. In Switzerland, a gigafactory is already being planned that will cover the Swiss market and produce for further licensees.”
