Problem
Current lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles have limitations in energy density, thermal stability, charging time, and lifespan, hindering the widespread adoption of EVs. Traditional batteries also pose safety risks due to thermal runaway and performance degradation over time.
Solution
Natrion develops solid-state battery components, including its LISIC™ solid-state electrolyte, designed to enhance battery performance and safety. LISIC™ increases energy density by over 50%, enabling faster charging times of 20-30 minutes without compromising long-term performance. These components are compatible with existing roll-to-roll manufacturing processes, allowing for easy integration into current battery production lines without significant modifications. Natrion's technology aims to make solid-state batteries a scalable and cost-effective reality for electric vehicle manufacturers.
Target Audience
The primary customers are original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and battery manufacturers in the electric vehicle industry seeking to upgrade to solid-state battery technology.
