ProLogium and Delta Collaborate to Revolutionize Battery Energy Management for Future Technologies
ProLogium Partners with Delta to Innovate Battery Energy Management Systems
In a groundbreaking announcement, ProLogium, a frontrunner in solid-state battery research and production, has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Delta, a prominent global provider of power management and thermal management solutions. This partnership is set to leverage the advanced solid-state battery technologies of ProLogium alongside the power management expertise of Delta, aiming to create an innovative battery energy management system tailored for next-generation applications.
Combining Strengths for a Sustainable Future
The collaboration represents a significant stride towards enhancing safety and efficiency in battery applications. ProLogium’s solid-state batteries are equipped with a unique Active Safety Mechanism (ASM), addressing inherent risks associated with conventional lithium-ion batteries, such as thermal runaway and combustion hazards. According to Vincent Yang, Founder and CEO of ProLogium, the solid-state batteries utilize a superfluidized all-inorganic solid-state electrolyte that fundamentally mitigates these safety risks while significantly improving charging performance. ProLogium's batteries reportedly charge five to six times faster than traditional liquid-electrolyte batteries, promising a quicker turnaround for devices and enhancing mobility and flexibility for users.
Eric Huang, General Manager of Delta’s Battery Power Management Development Department, highlighted that this partnership aims to propel the global energy transition by incorporating advanced safety features into Battery Management Systems (BMS). By intertwining Delta’s system integration proficiency with ProLogium’s solid-state technology, they anticipate substantial improvements in battery safety, efficiency, and mass production viability.
Phased Approach to Development
The collaboration is structured around two primary phases. The first phase will see the development of 48V battery modules based on ProLogium’s existing cell specifications, targeting selected futuristic applications. The second phase will shift focus toward the joint creation of prototype battery systems, furthering technical integration and innovation in the battery sector.
The Future of Solid-State Battery Applications
ProLogium's Superfluidized All-Inorganic Solid-State Battery stands out with its dual-function electrolyte, offering both non-flammability and high thermal stability. This innovative design allows it to decompose at elevated temperatures, releasing ASM materials that stabilize active materials in both cathodes and anodes. This mechanism effectively prevents thermal runaway, ensuring remarkable safety levels even at energy densities ranging from 860 to 940 Wh/L.
Operating with an ionic conductivity that surpasses conventional lithium-ion batteries by a factor of five, the battery retains excellent performance under various conditions without the need for external pressure. Impressively, the material costs remain comparable to those of liquid electrolytes, while the manufacturing process is simplified compared to traditional lithium-ion production methods. This positions ProLogium’s solid-state solution as a multi-faceted battery system offering excellent energy density, superior safety, rapid charging capabilities, and remarkable performance at low temperatures—all at a competitive cost.
Conclusion: A Sustainable Energy Landscape
The partnership between ProLogium and Delta represents more than just a technological collaboration; it signifies a commitment to advancing sustainable energy solutions that prioritize safety and efficiency. As they move forward with their joint initiatives, the potential impact on electric vehicles, smart appliances, and other energy-dependent technologies is substantial. Together, ProLogium and Delta are poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future landscape of battery technology, making strides toward fostering a more sustainable, energy-efficient world.
