Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are revising deployment schedules for solid-state battery technology in consumer electric vehicles. While lab-scale energy density targets have been achieved, high-volume manufacturing yields remain problematic.
Production Hurdles
Interfacial resistance and solid electrolyte layer uniformity continue to generate high defect rates in continuous roll-to-roll manufacturing processes. Capital intensity for specialized dry-room facilities remains a key headwind.
Bridging Technologies
Automakers are extending investments in high-silicon anode lithium-ion chemistries as an interim strategy to achieve range targets over the next five years.
