Solid-state Batteries
Legacy lithium-ion batteries are approaching the limits of their possible energy density just as demand for higher performing energy storage surges. QuantumScape’s groundbreaking technology is designed to overcome the major shortfalls of legacy batteries and brings us into a new era of energy storage with two major innovations — an anodeless architecture and proprietary solid ceramic separator — that improve energy density, charging speeds and safety.
Energy
Significantly increases volumetric and gravimetric energy densities by eliminating graphite/silicon anode host material
Fast Charge
Enables lessthan 15-minute fast charge (10-80%) by eliminating lithium diffusion bottleneck in anode host material
Life
Extends useful lifetime by eliminating capacity loss at anode interface
Safety
Eliminates organic separator and replaces with a solid-state separator that is nonflammable and noncombustible
Cost
Lowers cost by eliminating anode host material and manufacturing costs
QuantumScape’s technology platform is designed to pair with a variety of cathode chemistries — with the potential to significantly improve the energy densities of today’s Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP)-based battery cells. This capability enables optimization for diverse energy storage applications and gives our platform the flexibility to benefit from future cathode chemistry advancements.
