“Consortium of UK companies, universities and one government catapult join forces to develop a very British solid state battery for electric vehicles”. This was the kind of headlines you could read 12 months ago, at the start of the HISTORY collaboration program, funded by Faraday Battery Challenge (FBC). This blog aims to keep you informed of the program’s progress.
Led by Ilika, HISTORY essentially develops in 2 years Ilika’s first prototype cell for EVs, the “Goliath” cell, using Nexeon’s silicon anode material, with electrodes formulated by CPI, and with modelling and characterization from the University of St Andrews, University College London and Imperial College London. In addition, HSSMI is reporting on Life Cycle Analysis and End of Life of the cell.
Ilika plc (LON:IKA) is a pioneer in solid state battery technology enabling solutions for applications in Industrial IoT, MedTech, Electric Vehicles and Consumer Electronics.
