Who makes cerenergy® batteries?

The Fraunhofer Institute for Ceramic Technologies and Systems IKTS and the Altech Group establish the joint venture Altech Batteries GmbH to commercialize the ceramic solid-state battery cerenergy® developed at Fraunhofer IKTS. In the coming years, a cerenergy® battery factory is to be built at the Schwarze Pumpe site in Saxony.

What is a solid-state ceramic iron-air battery?

Solid-state ceramic Iron-air battery operation is demonstrated at 500–650 °C. Specific energy of 0.46 Wh g −1 and specific capacity of 0.5 Ah g −1 are achieved. No degradation observed after 100 cycles with 80% faradaic efficiency. Nickel-electrode and hydrogen/water redox processes are avoided.

Which materials can be used as solid electrolytes in solid-state batteries?

Advanced ceramics such as lithium ceramics (e.g., lithium garnet-based materials) can be used as solid electrolytes in solid-state batteries . Solid electrolytes offer advantages such as improved safety, higher energy density, and longer cycle life compared to liquid electrolytes.

Are polymer electrolytes suitable for solid-state batteries?

Currently, very different material classes of solid electrolytes for use in solid-state batteries are being investigated and described. Polymer electrolytes have the advantage of high mechanical flexibility and compatibility with conventional manufacturing processes. However, their thermal stability and conductivity at room temperature are limited.
