Sakuú, a US solid-state battery maker, said it signed a memorandum of understanding with LiCAP Technologies to establish best practices for electrode development and supply.
They will be used in Sakuú’s additive manufactured solid-state battery technology.
Arwed Niestroj, SVP of Customer Enablement at Sakuú, said: “LiCAP’s electrodes can substantially increase energy and power performance of Sakuu’s battery cells. Its innovative and cost-effective electrode technology can further promote performance, cost savings, and product recyclability across our planned additive manufactured solid-state battery line.”
Sakuú is developing ultra-high energy density solid-state batteries that can be printed in custom shapes and sizes. It anticipates they will be 50% smaller and 30% lighter than established roll-to-roll manufacturing processes.
It said manufacturing scalability is widely considered one of the biggest challenges faced by solid-state battery developers.
