650 Wh/kg, 1400 Wh/L Rechargeable Batteries For New Era Of Electrified Mobility (Energy Storage Innovations USA 2018)

Sion Power will present breakthrough technology leading to the highest combination of specific energy and energy density exceeding 650 Wh/kg and 1400 Wh/L. In the core of this transformational energy storage solution is a protected metallic lithium anode with several levels of physical and chemical protection, a product of Sion Power's technical collaboration with BASF. Sion Power's Licerion® high energy batteries have a potential to be enabling technology for a new era of electrified mobility including ground and maritime electric vehicles and a wide spectra of electric aircraft: surveillance, communication and delivery drones, passenger aircraft and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft for urban air transportation. The presentation will discuss Sion Power-BASF technology approaches and the current state-of-energy density, cycle life, rate capability, low-temperature performance, and thermal stability of Licerion batteries.
