QpiVolta unveils India’s first high energy density Lithium Metal based Solid State Battery pouch cell.
QpiVolta has successfully achieved an impressive energy density of 360 Wh/kg in their NMC-based cell and 220 Wh/kg in the cobalt-free LFP Solid State Battery cells.
QpiVolta, a subsidiary of Qpi Technology, has announced the successful development of India’s first high-energy density Lithium metal-based Solid State Battery (SSB) pouch cell. This achievement comes after the company’s announcement in 2021 that it will use quantum and AI material simulation to develop SSBs that are superior in energy density and safety.
QpiVolta has successfully achieved an impressive energy density of 360 Wh/kg in their NMC-based cell and 220 Wh/kg in the cobalt-free LFP cells. This represents a significant increase of around 60% compared to the currently available li-ion cells in the market. Moving forward, the company plans to double this energy density by continuing to optimize its cells.
The prototype pouch cell of the Lithium metal SSB marks the first step in QpiVolta’s plan to build a 10 Gwh Giga factory for 2-wheeler, 4-wheeler production capacity, and utility level energy storage. The company plans to replicate this success with different chemistries, including Sodium metal-based SSBs.
The electric vehicle market is ripe for adopting SSBs on a large scale as the company stabilizes the battery cells and increases the number of layers from the current 8-layer prototype with a capacity of 3 Ah, to higher layers of 32 with 100Ah. QpiVolta is open to testing this battery cell and battery packs.
QpiVolta’s use of quantum algorithms and AI optimization techniques has enabled the company to achieve its breakthrough in record time. With the successful development of the Lithium metal-based SSB pouch cell, QpiVolta is poised to make significant strides in the EV and energy storage markets.
In addition to their impressive performance, QpiVolta has also designed their solid electrolytes to be compatible with existing mass production lines, requiring only minor modifications. This compatibility is an important factor in ensuring that the cells can be produced on a large scale and at a reasonable cost.
