The Taiwanese solid-state battery cell manufacturer ProLogium inaugurated its Taoke solid-state lithium ceramic battery facility, marking a significant milestone in the battery industry.
Key strategic partners, including Mercedes-Benz, POSCO, FEV, Arkema, and banks from both Taiwan and France, were present to witness the opening event.
A highlight of the event was the unveiling of 106Ah solid-state battery manufactured with high-silicon anode at the facility, designed for electric vehicles. ProLogium not only showcased its proprietary manufacturing technology for solid-state batteries but also highlighted the commercial viability of the next-generation battery structure.
This new battery structure not only ensures a high level of safety but also paves the way for continuous improvements in lithium battery performance. Future advancements in materials are anticipated to further enhance driving range, maximize resource utilization, and reduce costs, striking an optimal balance between “Performance,” “Cost,” and “Resource Circulation.”
“After 17 years of dedicated effort, ProLogium is thrilled to present next-generation solid-state batteries to the world. The Time is Now,” said Vincent Yang, the founder and CEO of ProLogium. “Our journey has been a testament to overcoming existing technological barriers and innovating new structures, leading to a fundamental transformation in cell structure and process design. We have overcome the bottlenecks in traditional batteries and this breakthrough combines performance, cost efficiency, and resource circulation, manifesting a new universe for the battery industry. Looking ahead, ProLogium is set to globally promote the achievements of the Taoke factory, propelling the industrialization of solid-state batteries and supporting global automakers and governments in their quest for net-zero emissions.”
Breaking the industry’s previous perception of solid-state battery production is highly challenging and costly, ProLogium has continued expanding production capacity while consistently upgrading through process iterations for commercially competitive solid-state batteries. The Taoke factory’s output efficiency is 2.6 times greater than its original facility, with doubled assembly speed and innovative manufacturing technologies, i.e., solid-state electrolytes made by continuous wet coating without the process of liquid electrolyte injection, soaking and degassing. This improves production efficiency and quality and reduces manufacturing costs.
ProLogium has successfully overcome the challenges that solid-state batteries have faced in terms of mass production and economics, reaching a scale where manufacturing costs can be lowered to the same level as mainstream batteries.
