Developed without the need for any ionic liquids, low-boiling point solvents or low-viscous oils and gels, the SiLyte platform of electrolytic membranes are intended to provide safe, high-performance and mechanically-strong polymer electrolytes that could help to revolutionise lithium-ion batteries known to explode when overheated or overcharged.
Li-ion batteries also are expensive to manufacture, sensitive to temperature and become unusable if the voltage falls below a certain level.
“Our energy storage technology serves as the basis for higher energy/power density, more economical and safer cell designs,” said Manveer Sidhu, President, Sidhu Laboratories who serves as founder, materials scientist and principal researcher.
“SiLyte represents a scientific breakthrough that moves the concept of solid-state batteries from the laboratory to real-world applications – now and not in a decade.”
Among SiLyte’s characteristics are:
- Safe: enables the development of non-flammable, chemically-inert and safe batteries.
- High-thermal stability
- Non-toxic components
- No outgassing of hazardous chemicals at high temperatures and nonflammable
