TAOYUAN, July 17, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The World Materials Forum is an international
seminar aiming to drive sustainable development and materials
innovation. The forum brings together experts from academia,
industry, and government to discuss the latest research findings,
industry trends, and to identify opportunities for collaboration
that drive the advancement and application of global materials
technology. Vincent Yang, founder
and chairman of ProLogium Technology, was invited to the 2024
World Materials Forum held on July
11th in Paris. He
highlighted the advantages and technological breakthroughs of
ProLogium's new battery materials in addressing key industry
challenges.
Vincent Yang stated: "ProLogium started with solid-state
batteries for consumer electronics, wearable devices such as watch
straps and phone charging cases, and IOT applications. Over the
past ten years, we have accumulated a solid track record of sales.
To ensure the safety of body-worn batteries, we chose to use
ceramic separators. However, the inherent rigidity of ceramic
separators posed a challenge to achieving the necessary
flexibility. Through continuous innovation and adjustment, we
successfully developed flexible ceramic separators and accumulated
numerous patents. As we prepared for mass production, we built a
robust technical foundation with wet film coating and roll-to-roll
(RTR) manufacturing processes. We believe that the technical
foundation we built in the early years is invaluable for our
transition to electric vehicles and mass production."
ProLogium's next-generation batteries combine high energy
density, high-performance fast charging, and enhanced safety
features without CTP (Cell to Pack) technology. Due to its higher
energy density, ProLogium's next-generation batteries reduce the
total volume and weight of battery packs, resulting in more compact
and lighter packs with improved LCA (Life Cycle Assessment)
performance and reduced carbon taxes. This decrease in total volume
and weight also lowers initial purchasing costs for consumers while
improving driving efficiency (distance per kilowatt hour).Through
modular battery pack designs, battery cells can be recycled and
reused, alleviating consumers' concerns about the lack of residual
value for second-hand cars. ProLogium's next-generation batteries
also support fast charging, capable of charging from 5% to 80% in
just 8.5 minutes, equivalent 300 to 400 kilometers. This
ultra-fast charging enhances the turnover rate of charging
stations, that should encourage operators to expand charging
infrastructure and promote positive industry growth.
Vincent Yang remarked "As a startup originating from
Taiwan, we must proceed
cautiously, as every decision can have profound implications. Cost
control remains a top priority, especially crucial in the
capital-intensive battery industry. We must stay close to the
market and expand our global gigafactories. Through new
technologies and batteries, we aim to leverage global resources to
expand battery market size, establish a new industry chain and set
new standards in collaboration with our partners.
Our goals are ambitious, yet we proceed with great caution,
taking one step at a time. We firmly believe in continuously
improving our equipment, accumulating learning curves, and
enhancing production efficiency. Those who embrace difficulty
progress; Those who face challenges achieve. I firmly believe we
are on the right track."
