Solidion awarded patents on drop-on solid-state conversion technology

Solidion (STI) announced the grant of a series of key patents covering its proprietary liquid-to-solid electrolyte conversion platform – a technology that enables existing lithium-ion battery manufacturers to produce solid-state batteries without new equipment or process investment – adding to the company’s portfolio of over 345 patents. The technology invented includes using any current lithium-ion cell manufacturing facility to produce dry battery cells, injecting a proprietary liquid electrolyte into the dry cells, and then converting the liquid electrolyte inside the cells into a semi-solid or solid electrolyte, thereby reducing or eliminating flammability.
