Is HPB solid state electrolyte safe?

By using the HPB solid state electrolyte developed by us, the performance of our battery will remain almost constant over its lifetime. No matter how heavy the battery is used. Our battery technology is safe because our HPB solid state electrolyte is non-flammable and the battery is non-explosive.

What is HPB solid-state battery & HPB electrolyte?

Overall, HPB solid-state batteries and HPB solid-state electrolyte make an important contribution to the energy and mobility transition and to reducing dependence on raw materials. While the annual demand for storage was still 180 gigawatt-hours in 2018, it is expected to exceed 2,000 gigawatthours by 2030.

Why should you choose HPB solid-state battery?

As a new basic technology, our HPB solid-state battery makes an important contribution to this. The combination of its properties is a "game changer" and a success factor for the success of the energy transition. The characteristics of our HPB solid-state electrolyte have already been confirmed by independent research institutes.

What makes HPB a good battery?

For the automotive industry, which develops its own high-performance rechargeable batteries, HPB provides its safe, robust and outstandingly conductive HPB solid-state electrolyte. In this way, the HPB solid-state electrolyte ensures that sufficient power is available even at extreme temperatures.

Are HPB batteries safe?

Our battery technology is safe because our HPB solid state electrolyte is non-flammable and the battery is non-explosive. No critical raw materials are needed for production. This also improves the environmental balance by more than half compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.
