“KLA is committed to leveraging the established methodologies and standards from the semi-industry to address the challenges associated with the inflection of next-gen batteries,” explains Oreste Donzella, EVP of the Electronics, Packaging and Components branch of the KLA.awarded a total of $63.5 million round of funding released by ARPA-E in June through the latest round of the SCALE-UP program.
Last year the firm 24M Technologies won a $3.2 million award through the Energy Department’s EVs4All affordable EV program. The funding is aimed at its work on low-cost, fast-charging semi-solid state sodium metal EV batteries. “The SemiSolid electrode architecture has been commercially demonstrated with exceptionally high energy density using lithium-ion chemistry,” the Energy Department notes.” The next step is to apply that framework to sodium-ion batteries.
Of the six teams selected for the MINT program, three were tasked with developing solid-state batteries. Here are the project descriptions:
