Our intention is design and build pilot scale production line for next Gen 4a, 4b and 4c solid state batteries and battery components. Pilot plant is engineered based on already existing processing and equipments technology developed internally, in bilateral projects with customer and in EU funded collaborative projects. Pilot plan shall demonstrate full scale manufacturing technology for all-solid state, hybrid solid state and semisolid state as well as anodeless cell components for e-mobility and other feasible applications. Pilot plant is based on roll-to-roll and sheet-to-sheet capabilities utilizing novel processing technology for metallic Li and Li-alloys anodes (thermal evaporation and pulsed laer deposition), inorganic solid electrolytes (pulsed laser depositions), barrier layers (pulsed laser deposition and atomic layer deposition) and lithiophilic layers (pulsed laser deposition and thermal evaporation). Furthermore, novel postprocessing technologies including thermal, mechanical and thermomechanical tehcnologies are utilized for optimizing performance of cell materials & components. Process environment is controlled in order to allow reliable and safe handling of air and moistire sensitive cell material like sulphitic solid electrolytes and lithium metal and its alloys. Process environment is controlled at pilot plat level (dryrooms), locally at the cell material deposition chamber (vacuum or controlled gas atmosphere) and cell materials and assembly chambers. Customers are integrated into pilot plant product validation phase for all major battery concepts. Battery level testing and validation is extended to 100 Ah cells including energy and power density, cycle life and safety.
