Planar Energy Devices seeks to develop an ultra-high energy, long cycle life all solid-state lithium-ion battery that can be manufactured using low cost non-vacuum fabrication techniques, targeting energy densities of 400 watt hours per kilogram and 1,080 watt hours per liter; system costs of $200 per kilowatt hour, and cycle life of 5,000. Planar Energy Devices will demonstrate pilot manufacturing of these disruptive new batteries using a low cost roll-to-roll process in ambient environment, all inorganic materials, and solid state electrolytes whose ionic conductivity is similar to existing liquid electrolytes. If successful, this project will establish the U.S. as a leader in advanced high energy battery technology and low cost manufacturing processes in batteries for electric vehicles.
