Products
and Technology
▪ Since inception, compatibility with lithium-ion manufacturing processes
has been fundamental to Solid Power's strategy, driving the selection of
a sulfide-based solution and subsequent R&D
■ Utilizes industry standard lithium-ion production processes and
equipment
·
-
Substantially de-risks commercial success
Allows for rapid deployment of technology among early adopter
platforms
Existing production lines can be transitioned as market demand
grows (est. at 10% of cost of new plant)
Minimal historical and future capex requirements to prove
commercialization
Existing lithium-ion production infrastructure accommodates sulfide
solid electrolyte moisture sensitivity
▪ Solid Power's process eliminates electrolyte filling and formation
cycling, which account for approximately 5% and 30% of capex in typical
GWh-scale lithium-ion facility, respectively
Removing 1.5 to 3-week formation process further improves Solid
Power throughput
Roll-to-roll production line will have successfully produced 0.2 Ah, 2 Ah
and 20 Ah form factors and Li Metal and Si anode cells by end of 2021
Production line can be easily transitioned between Li Metal and Si
anode cells
Solid Power is positioned to deliver superior cells at scale
