Semi-Solid State Battery Current Collector Foil Selection
Every electrode in a lithium battery does two jobs: store lithium, and hand the electron to the outside circuit. The first job gets all the attention in ce…
Semi-Solid State Battery Electrode Slurry Mixing and
When engineers talk about semi-solid state batteries, most of the attention goes to energy density numbers and the promise of safer chemistry. In my work a…
Semi-Solid State Battery Pilot Line Cost Modeling
When a customer asks me how much a semi-solid state battery will cost at volume, I tell them the honest number only exists after you have built the pilot l…
Semi-Solid State Battery Cell Traceability and Batch Records
When a fleet operator reports a semi-solid state battery that swelled after 400 cycles, the first question is never “what failed”. It is “which batch, whic…
Semi-Solid State Battery for Portable Military Electronics
As a senior lithium battery engineer I have spent the last decade building power systems for equipment that cannot fail in the field. Portable military ele…
Semi-Solid State Battery for Smart Locks and Access Control
Most smart locks still ship with commodity cylindrical cells that were never designed for a door. At Horizon Power I have tested dozens of access-control b…
Semi-Solid State Battery Cell Grading and Binning
Most pack failures I have investigated on the bench were not caused by a bad cell chemistry. They were caused by good cells that were simply not alike. Whe…
Semi-Solid State Battery IP Landscape: A Buyer Field Guide
Semi-solid state batteries have crossed the line from conference slides to production lines. As a senior lithium battery engineer, I have spent the last fe…
Semi-Solid State Battery Internal Pressure Sensing
Pressure is the one signal that tells you what is actually happening inside a sealed cell. Voltage and temperature are averages taken at the terminals and…
Semi-Solid State Battery Dry Electrode Processing
Every solvent we remove from a factory is a problem we no longer have to solve. That is the honest argument for dry electrode processing, and on semi-solid…
