First application for Solid State Batteries on a giga-scale: Insights from Ilika’s Robin Bell

Ilika PLC is pushing boundaries in the electric vehicle (EV) industry through its innovative Goliath solid-state battery programme. This forward-thinking project has recently reached an exciting milestone, with the successful creation and testing of 10Ah power

As rechargeable batteries are integrated increasingly into various applications, optimal charging, storage, and discharge processes are essential to maximise operational lifespan. Power management solutions, including Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) and Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), are

Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are vital components in modern technology, powering devices for hours or even days. First introduced by Sony and Asahi Kasei in 1991, these batteries brought a significant shift in energy storage, packing immense

Emerging battery technology is undergoing continuous research, with advancements focused on enhancing performance, increasing energy capacity, and reducing charging times. Among these developments, solid-state batteries are viewed by many as a significant milestone with the potential

Ilika will participate in the 2025 International Battery Seminar, held from 17th to 20th March in Orlando, USA. This annual event, founded in 1983, has become a key occasion for unveiling cutting-edge developments in global energy

The global transition towards sustainable technologies has fuelled significant growth in advanced materials, particularly in the energy storage sector. This sector is crucial as the world increasingly adopts renewable energy sources and electric vehicles (EVs). With

A solid-state battery is a type of battery that utilises a solid electrolyte, unlike the more common lithium-ion batteries that depend on liquid electrolytes. These batteries are classified based on their electrolyte material, including polymer solid

Electric vehicles are constantly evolving, offering improvements over time, yet they continue to face scepticism from consumers. Many households remain hesitant to give up their traditional petrol and diesel cars due to concerns surrounding electric vehicles’

Electric vehicles (EVs) are slowly gaining popularity, but the pace of adoption must accelerate to meet the 2050 net-zero emissions target. Despite advances in EV technology, many drivers remain hesitant to move away from petrol cars

Solid-state batteries differ significantly from traditional lithium-ion batteries by employing a solid electrolyte instead of a liquid one. The electrolyte in these batteries is a solid material, which facilitates the movement of ions between the anode

Safety tests have shown promising results for the Goliath solid-state battery prototypes developed by Ilika in the UK. One of the key tests performed, the nail penetration test, was conducted by researchers from University College London.

Ilika announced progress in developing its Goliath solid-state battery technology, supported by safety tests carried out by University College London (UCL). The tests demonstrated that Ilika’s Goliath prototypes offer significantly better safety than conventional lithium-ion batteries.
