Oak Ridge National Laboratory

STMicroelectronics

In June 2014, STMicroelectronics began limited production of its EnFilm™ rechargeable thin-film lithium batteries. These batteries are ultra-thin (low-capacity with mm thickness) and were developed using technology licensed from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

Solid Power

Solid Power was established in 2012 as a spin-out from the University of Colorado Boulder. Founded by Doug Campbell, Conrad Stoldt, and Sehee Lee, the company initially received funding from DARPA to explore next-generation solid-state battery technology. By 2013, Solid Power secured US$4.5 million in funding from ARPA-E and other non-dilutive sources, such as the Department of Defense and NASA. This early support enabled the company to transition out of the university's research labs and begin independent operations.

Ensurge Micropower ASA

Ensurge Micropower ASA, formerly known as Thin Film Electronics ASA, is a Norway-based company specializing in the development and production of ultrathin, flexible, and safe solid-state lithium microbatteries (SSLBs).

Excellatron Solid State LLC

Excellatron Solid State, LLC, a US-based technology company, introduced innovative and enabling energy storage technology. The batteries made possible by this proprietary technology can be used in many applications and processes where other batteries would be inadequate. Later, Excellatron focused on lithium air batteries and the work on solid-state batteries was carried on by Johnson Battery Technologies.
