Lithium-ion battery commercial and industrial applications

The new generation of drones and aviation products along with consumer electronics are constantly seeking smaller footprints and lower weight associated with their batteries. With the exceptional jump in specific energy—lower weight for high energy performance—Sionic’s battery technology addresses one of the primary design points in lithium-ion drone batteries, as well as batteries for automotive and consumer electronic products.

Critical to sustaining the growth of the electric vehicle (EV) markets is the cost and the safety of the energy storage batteries. Accounting for about one-third (⅓) of the vehicle’s cost, batteries are the primary component for reducing costs and for putting EVs at cost parity with internal combustion engines (ICE) vehicles to encourage accelerated EV adoption. Sionic’s technology has the potential to achieve up to a 30% cost reduction in lithium-ion batteries for electric cars while dramatically increasing energy density performance and mitigating risks of thermal runaway.

Second only to the growth of batteries for electric vehicles, the stationary and grid storage markets are also seeing accelerated growth and integration of energy storage into distributed renewable energy infrastructure. An attractive solution for both industrial and consumer energy consumption and distribution—cost, as well as safety, are very critical performance factors for batteries in these markets. Sionic’s battery technology delivers a substantial reduction in costs, mitigates the risks of thermal runaway from cell-to-cell propagation, and is adaptable to the newer generation of safe cathode materials being used for these market applications, such as lithium iron phosphate (LFP).
