US startup Quantumscape developed the ceramic separator that led to the development of an anode-less solid-state battery.
The battery goes from 10 to 80 percent charge in under 15 minutes and has an energy density of over 800 Wh/L.California-based QuantumScape, a startup making solid-state batteries for electric vehicles , has started low-volume production of its B-sample cells. According to the company’s Q3 report, it will soon ship them to EV makers for implementation testing.
However, apart from government policy and subsidies, the performance of EVs must also encourage users to adopt them. Although EV manufacturers equip their newer models with high-tech and smart features, the deciding factor in EV purchase remains the battery for potential customers. According to its website, the ceramic separator allows the replacement of carbon or silicon anode with lithium metal, which is much more energy-dense and stores more charge in the same volume. This also allowed QuantumScape to make an anode-less battery since lithium from the battery makes the anode on the first charge.
By the end of 2022, the company had delivered its A0 cells to automotive partners and completed testing with an unnamed EV manufacturer by 2023. The company said the results were better than expected and soon rolled out its first commercial-scale product, the QSE-5.
