Launch of Stereax(TM) P180 solid-state battery, for extended
temperature range
Ilika (AIM: IKA), a pioneer in materials innovation and
solid-state battery technology, announces the launch of Stereax(TM)
P180, extending the operating temperature range of the Stereax
family of solid-state batteries.
This follows the launch of Stereax(TM) M250 solid-state battery
in April 2016, which focused on miniaturisation of the solid-state
battery technology. The Stereax P180 brings all the benefits of the
Stereax products, including miniaturisation and energy density,
with the additional benefits of support for extended temperature
ranges from -40degC up to +150degC. This range is required for many
Industrial IoT and Automotive end applications enabling always on,
self-charging energy efficient IoT solutions for more demanding
environments.
As the trend towards digitising industrial processes gathers
momentum, the Board believe there is a growing requirement for
components with enhanced tolerance to temperature, moisture and
vibration.
Professor Keith Jackson, Non-Executive Director of Ilika and CTO
of Meggitt PLC, said: "For industries like ours gathering more
manufacturing and in-service maintenance information on our
products enables us to improve operational efficiency as it enables
full life cycle traceability and visibility from manufacture
through to disposal. Miniature, ultra-low maintenance batteries are
an essential building block to the required increased
instrumentation of the build and maintenance processes, both for
new and retro fit capabilities."
Solid-state batteries offer more stable, energy-efficient,
reliable battery technology that can be used in conjunction with
all current energy harvesting technologies. They enable
self-sustaining power sources that do not need to be changed
regularly or use additional expensive cabling. Offering significant
weight saving in automotive environments and efficient, reliable
functionality over a wide range of temperatures. Relative to
standard lithium ion batteries, Stereax P180 solid-state batteries
have lower leakage currents (10x smaller) and longer life spans, up
to 10 years (5x longer). They can also be integrated with other
electronic components enabling the product to be kept as small as
possible. In the Stereax P180 all of these aspects are now combined
with the ability to support temperatures range from -40degC up to
+150degC.
Graeme Purdy, CEO, Ilika plc said: "The Stereax product family
brings a range of solid-state battery solutions which customers can
license to enable battery technology that meets the demanding needs
of Industrial IoT and automotive environments. Ilika continues its
commitment to bringing market leading solutions to address the wide
needs of battery technology in the connected world."
To learn more about the capabilities of Stereax solid-state
batteries Ilika will be demonstrating the capability of both the
Stereax P180 and Stereax M250 products in perpetual beacons at:
-- IDTechEx Europe, Berlin (Booth C10; 10-11 May 2017 and oral presentation on 10 May, 12:40)
-- Nanotech, Washington DC (15 May, 15:10)
-- Battery Power, TX (17 May, 10:20)
-- and Sensors Expo and Conference, San Jose (Booth 1431; 27-29 June 2017)
