Highstar Introduces a Revolutionary Semi-Solid Battery to Elevate Energy Safety Standards

Highstar recently made a remarkable statement at The Smarter E Europe 2025 exhibition, which took place from May 7 to 9 in Munich, Germany. The company's latest innovation, a semi-solid battery, is set to redefine the safety standards of energy storage solutions. Throughout the exhibition, Highstar highlighted its commitment to enhancing battery safety and performance during a technical launch event aptly titled "Ultimate Safety Beyond Limits".

With over 300 booth visitors each day, there was significant buzz around Highstar's semi-solid battery technology alongside their sodium-ion energy storage solutions. A standout feature was the introduction of a solid-liquid hybrid electrolyte that represents a significant advancement in battery safety. Specific highlights include enormous gains in thermal management:

  • - The risk of thermal runaway has been elongated by over 40%, with a critical trigger temperature raised by 30°C.
  • - When compared to traditional liquid-based batteries, Highstar's module-level safety thresholds surpass those standards by more than 20%.
  • - The Highstar 314Ah semi-solid-state battery has accomplished the world's first successful passing of the 5mm nail penetration test, thereby achieving a "zero thermal runaway" status which emphasizes non-flammability and non-explosiveness, even under extreme conditions.

In addition to safety features, Highstar's semi-solid battery also delivers impressive performance metrics, boasting the ability to sustain up to 7,000 cycles at 80% state-of-health (SOH) and achieving energy efficiency ratings exceeding 95%. The company strategically showcases a robust commitment to innovation through smart manufacturing processes, exemplified by maintaining over 3,000 quality control checkpoints in a fully automated production line, resulting in a remarkable 99.8% yield rate.

Highstar's energy storage solutions cater to five essential applications:

1. Grid-scale storage: Utilizing nanostructured oxide electrolyte technology, Highstar enhances thermal stability by 30%, significantly preventing thermal runaway and protecting the integrity of grid systems.

2. Commercial & Industrial storage: The portable 20-ft containerized energy storage system not only fulfills high-power demands but functions efficiently in a temperature range from -30°C to 60°C, reducing the levelized cost of electricity by 20% throughout its lifecycle.

3. Marine Power: Their high-rate modules demonstrate a 40% increase in peak power, effectively meeting the instantaneous demands of hybrid vessels, while high-energy modules offer a 25% range boost – suitable for the extended operations of fully electric vessels.

4. Residential and Balcony PV Storage: Combining cloud-based management and modular design, systems are built for 7,000 cycles at 80% SOH with over 95% efficiency, assuring safety and maintaining cost-effectiveness in residential settings.

5. Telecom Backup Power: With top-tier protection certification, solutions are expected to function reliably in adverse environments, cutting failure rates by 50% and ensuring consistent power supply for base stations round-the-clock.

Having invested 30 years into research and development in battery cell technologies, Highstar now boasts an impressive annual production capacity of 16GWh. The company is amplifying its localization strategies within Europe, aspiring to forge partnerships with local entities to bolster the region’s ambition for carbon neutrality by 2050 through innovative energy storage solutions. As the emphasis on sustainable energy continues to rise globally, Highstar stands out as a frontrunner in battery technology capable of meeting the evolving demands for safe, reliable, and efficient energy storage.
