Enhanced Specifications of Solid-State Batteries to rapid
Temperature change
Ilika (AIM: IKA), a pioneer in solid-state battery technology,
announces an upgrade of the Stereax(R) P180's technical
specifications. This battery has now been verified to power sensors
that are subjected to rapid temperature changes between room
temperature and +140degC. This enhanced capability enables the
Stereax P180 to operate industrial wireless sensors in even more
hostile environment applications to monitor temperature, pressure
or other data in industrial equipment, such as deposition systems
used in the semi-conductor industry, where rapid cooling or heating
of components occurs.
Ilika has previously demonstrated the ability of its Stereax
P180, a solid-state battery of 180 uAh rated capacity, to operate
at temperatures of up to +150degC for long, continuous periods of
time, after controlled ramp rates between room temperature and
+150degC. Following further testing, when the battery was
repeatedly heated and cooled between room temperature (25degC) and
140degC, the battery maintained its discharge capacity of at least
180 uAh and functioned normally. Ilika has now verified that the
Stereax P180 can retain its performance, even if it is subjected to
practically instantaneous rapid heating or cooling cycles as short
as a few seconds.
Data from sensors are connecting machines, people and services
in everyday life (Smart Homes, Smart Vehicles, MedTech) and
industry (Smart Infrastructure, Industry 4.0). For this
connectivity to be enabled, sensors and other electronic devices
may need to operate in hostile environments at high temperature,
for example in manufacturing facilities, process plants and
vehicles. Conventional batteries can only operate at up to 60degC
and require additional and often cumbersome packaging to function
at higher temperatures.
"The continuous development of Ilika's solid state battery
technology and the specification upgrade demonstrated today will
enable a larger range of industrial applications to be powered by
solid-state batteries, enabling more efficient monitoring of high
value equipment in the semi-conductor industry for example", added
Ilika's CEO Graeme Purdy.
