LONDON (Alliance News) - Ilika PLC Tuesday said it has achieved a twenty-five-fold increase in the capacity of cells in its solid-state batteries, which it hopes to launch next year.
Earlier this year, the company said it had achieved a unique processing methodology to produce stacked solid-state batteries.
Ilika said Tuesday that its new cells have similar characteristics, albeit on a large scale, to the smaller devices tested in January. These cells have now been deposited over an area of 64 millimetre squared, which is a footprint suitable for wireless sensor network and wearable applications, the company said.
Ilika now plans to further increase the energy stored by a stacked battery by depositing thicker cells and simultaneously increasing the number of stacked cells.
The company is also in commercial discussions with a number of partners to distribute its product.
Ilika shares were quoted up 13.6% at 71.00 pence Tuesday morning.
