To facilitate the commercialization of solid-state batteries, researchers have been investigating methods to reduce costs and enable the mass production of SEs for use in a broad range of applications. 2.1.1. Mass production. Wet synthesis methods for SSEs have been developed to overcome the limitations of dry processing methods.
Other companies have also declared their intention to participate in the production of solid-state batteries in the coming years, but have not announced exact dates. These include large companies such as AESC (until 2027), LGES (from 2030), Samsung SDI (from 2027), SVOLT (until 2030) and Lition (from 2025).
Solid-state batteries are commonly acknowledged as the forthcoming evolution in energy storage technologies. Recent development progress for these rechargeable batteries has notably accelerated their trajectory toward achieving commercial feasibility.
The federal National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries 2021 to 2030 set a goal of demonstrating, by 2030, the at-scale production of solid-state batteries that are cobalt- and nickel-free and that meet a production cost of less than $60 per kilowatt-hour, with a specific energy of 500 watt-hours per kilogram.
Toyota, Nissan and Honda, and some U.S.-based startups like Solid Power and QuantumScape are working to commercialize solid-state batteries in the near term.
Depending on the selected technology, the values are around 400 Wh/kg. How will solid-state batteries develop in the future? Companies such as ProLogium from Taiwan have been announcing their intentions to mass-produce solid-state batteries since 2021. The goal was to enter the market by 2023.
