An electrolyte platform unlocking new capabilities
LiGas
LiGas offers a new electrolyte platform that delivers key advancements – from longer cycle life with high-rate charging to improved safety and exceptional cold-weather capability. LiGas solves the limitations of conventional liquid electrolyte, enhancing the performance of today’s lithium-ion materials and creating a foundation for tomorrow’s innovations.
Breakthrough Performance Benefits
a safer, more resilient electrolyte designed for the demands of modern evs
Unprecedented Temperature Range
LiGas cells operate from -60 to +60 ˚C, charge and discharge
Reduced Fire Risk
Minimal propagation risk via thermal fuse, rapidly evacuating the electrolyte from the cell
Increased Cycle Life
LiGas enables extended cycle life, especially when combined with Silicon-blended anodes
Enhanced Charge Rate
Maintains uniform electrolyte distribution, even when operating at high rates
Reduced System Cost
Faster takt times from single shot electrolyte injection and shorter fill, soak and formation stages
Reliable Domestic Supply Chain
LiGas leverages an established U.S. gas manufacturing supply chain
