Farasis Energy says its all-solid-state battery with high energy density enters testing phase

"Farasis Energy's all-solid-state battery with an energy density of more than 400 Wh/kg has entered the real-world testing phase with stable cell cycling, the company said in an announcement today.
The product is built on a sulfide-based system with a high-nickel ternary anode and a high-silicon anode, according to the company.
The safety of the cells with all-solid-state electrolytes has been enhanced, passing pinprick, shear, and hot box tests, with thermal runaway self-shutdown capability at the cell level, Farasis Energy said."

...

"In addition to products based on the sulfide route, Farasis Energy also announced its progress in building solid-state batteries based on oxide and polymer systems. The company's prototype solid-state battery using lithium metal anode and high nickel cathode has an energy density of up to 500Wh/kg, it said.
Composite electrolyte materials compatible with lithium metal anodes and high nickel cathodes have now been developed, Farasis Energy said."



I never heard of Farasis before, so i looked them up. They're apparently a battery supplier to Marcedes and some Chinese auto companies.
IE they actually build and sell stuff.

Amazing to see that a non-vaporware company is this far along on super high density batteries.

This sounds great, but until there is independent testing all we really have is the mfgs' PR releases. But it would be great if this all proves out.
