Ilika’s Goliath achieves manufacturing scale-up with UKBIC collaboration

Ilika plc (LON:IKA), the UK pioneer in solid-state battery technology, has announced that its collaboration with the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC) has successfully demonstrated its ability to scale key steps in the manufacturing of its Goliath battery, which is expected to reduce costs, increase the range of electric vehicles and reduce their charging time.

This successful demonstration of manufacturing in a giga-scale factory setting, using industry standard equipment, marks another step towards commercialisation and follows progress in 2024 including the start of commercial testing, shipping of the first batch of prototype Goliath batteries to customers, and the release of validated safety data. 

Graeme Purdy, CEO of Ilika, said: “We are delighted with the teamwork at UKBIC, which has delivered an excellent outcome, demonstrating the large scale preparation of Goliath electrolyte and the coating of our composite electrode-electrolyte. We look forward to further collaboration on our commercialisation journey and welcome the UK government’s recent announcement of £2B of funding which will catalyse faster progress in this space.”
