Solid electrolytes
High-quality solid electrolytes are critical materials for next-generation liquid, hybrid, and solid electrolyte battery designs. SCHOTT’s sodium-ion conducting oxide electrolyte materials fit these diverse cell architectures – enabling new designs that help increase performance and safety.
Powering the future of EVs
Our solid electrolytes enable new electric vehicle battery designs that can lead to longer driving ranges and faster charging speeds. Solid electrolytes are stable even at high temperatures, providing higher thermal stability for the battery, which reduces thermal runaway risk.
Supporting innovation end-to-end
From initial cell concepts to industrial-scale production, SCHOTT supports customers every step of the way. We strongly believe that close collaboration from the design process through scale-up enables reliable material planning and a secure supply chain for mass production.
What are the benefits of glass-ceramic oxide solid electrolytes?
Our solid electrolytes are produced using a glass-ceramic process that achieves exceptional homogeneity. This approach also offers scalability, reproducibility, and additional compositional design freedom.
