The France-based solid-state battery (SBB) maker ITEN has announced it was able to achieve a 200C discharge rate with its lithium-ion SSB.
It claims that this is 200 times the batteries capacity per hour and 100 times higher than conventional lithium-ion batteries, which are between 2-5C.
The microbattery, which is a 150 microampere-hours (μAh) with an 18mm2 footprint, is said to be made for high-power situations.
It said this new technology could provide current capable of supporting cellular Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) communications.
Allegedly the peak current capabilities of the battery are 30mA for 50-milisecond pulse lengths.
It cites experience in nanomaterials that informed how the company made the full-ceramic electrodes for the SSB.
These electrodes have a patented mesoporous structure, which the company believes enhances its specific surface area.
The company, which has a focus on making batteries for surface-mount devices (SMD), is now going to manufacture this technology at scale to build its new product line.
The firm stated that it is ready with high-production capabilities to meet growing demand for loT and other connected devices across various industries and full-scale production is expected in the second half of 2025.
Vincent Cobée, CEO, ITEN, said: “Our breakthrough solid-state battery technology, driven by ITEN’s advanced expertise in nanomaterials, is redefining energy management in electronic devices. With industry-leading power density and full manufacturing readiness, we are solving some of the IoT sector’s most pressing challenges. Our technology is also driving innovation in wearables, healthcare devices, and more, setting a new standard for power efficiency and reliability.”
