Additionally, all-solid-state sodium-ion batteries (ASSSIB) and all-solid-state magnesium-ion batteries (ASSMIB) have been studied as alternatives, leveraging more abundant raw materials than lithium. 148–153 SEs are being explored to enhance the safety of these batteries by replacing the flammable liquid electrolytes used in traditional LIBs.
Solid-state batteries are emerging as a next generation storage solution that is safer, fast charging and longer lasting than current battery counterparts. And backed with 20 years of ionic materials research and experience in working closely with leading companies, the Battery Research and Innovation Hub is poised to bring this next generation

Solid-state batteries are one class of next-generation batteries that are showing huge potential to address these needs by offering a drastic change to the battery components that are used in current technology.
Solid-state batteries could also bring much higher electric range, faster charging, and improved safety. “We have been collaborating and testing QuantumScape prototype cells for years now and we are looking forward to bringing this technology of the future into series production," says PowerCo CEO Frank Blome.
Solid-state batteries (SSBs), however, have gained much traction over the past few years among researchers looking for alternatives. While conventional lithium-ion batteries contain a liquid electrolyte in which lithium ions flow during the charge/discharge process, SSBs are made entirely from solid materials.
Benefits: Solid-state batteries can be operated at a wide range of temperatures, especially at high temperatures that lithium-ion batteries cannot tolerate. Some solid electrolytes that can transfer ions at a faster rate than conventional liquid electrolytes.
The CERENERGY® sodium-alumina solid state battery project is specially designed to meet the needs of the grid energy storage market, which is projected to grow in value from US$4.4bn last year to US$15.1bn by 2027.
Volkswagen has signed a deal to mass-produce solid-state battery technology for its future lineup of electric vehicles. The technology comes from California-based battery company QuantumScape, which will license its formula to PowerCo, Volkswagen's internal battery division.
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
