Solid State Battery Pioneer, ION Storage Systems, Delivers First Samples to Consumer Electronics Firms with Cornerstone Product Launch
In a groundbreaking development, Maryland-based ION Storage Systems has launched Cornerstone, the first commercial generation of their next-generation solid-state battery technology. This milestone marks a significant leap forward in battery technology, offering improved safety, performance, and efficiency.
Key Features of Cornerstone
Cornerstone is a multilayer solid-state battery cell, specifically tailored for integration into compact, high-performance devices such as smartphones, laptops, wearables, and other consumer electronics. The technology eliminates the need for bulky compression systems, a major hurdle in previous solid-state battery designs.
The batteries provide enhanced safety by using a solid electrolyte, which reduces the risk of thermal runaway and fires associated with traditional lithium-ion batteries. Cornerstone offers long cycle life and high energy density, making them more efficient and durable than traditional batteries. Unlike some solid-state batteries that require compression to prevent dimensional changes, Cornerstone does not swell, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.
Benefits of Cornerstone
The use of a solid electrolyte reduces fire risks, making it safer for consumer electronics and other applications. Cornerstone batteries can withstand over 1,000 charge cycles, providing extended usage without significant degradation. Higher energy density means more power in a smaller, lighter package, enhancing the overall performance of devices.
Beyond consumer electronics, Cornerstone is suitable for electric vehicles, aerospace, and defense industries, offering a versatile technology platform. It marks a critical step in the commercialization of solid-state batteries, moving from lab-scale prototypes to shipping functional cells to major manufacturers.
A Significant Event in the Battery Market
ION's Cornerstone powers the most expansive solid-state sampling programs in the industry, reaching top-tier customers in consumer electronics, EV, aerospace, and defense simultaneously. The launch of Cornerstone is a significant event in the battery market, signalling a larger roadmap ahead for ION Storage Systems.
Jorge Diaz Schneider, CEO of ION Storage Systems, stated that the shipping of Cornerstone signals a larger roadmap ahead for the company. Eric Lind, the chief commercial officer of ION Storage Systems, has stated that the inflection point for solid-state batteries moving from lab-scale prototypes to commercially viable products is here with Cornerstone.
The testing of ION's Cornerstone is the first step in the qualification process that will allow their technology to rapidly deploy into portable devices with significantly improved energy density, integration, thermal stability, and cycle life. The launch of Cornerstone is a critical validation point from a commercial perspective.
ION's solid-state platform is uniquely positioned for broad, multi-industry adoption, offering a promising future for the battery market.
