Solidion’s BEEP Platform Solves the Design and Manufacturing Issues of Solid-State Batteries
The company’s revolutionary, patent-protected bipolar electrode-to-pack technology dramatically reduces battery weight, volume, and cost
DAYTON, Ohio, May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solidion
Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: STI), an advanced battery technology solutions provider, today unveiled their patent-protected bipolar electrode-to-pack (BEEP) technology. Rather than creating
individual cells and modules, Solidion’s BEEP technology produces a high-voltage, high-capacity battery pack by stacking and connecting bipolar electrodes and solid electrolyte layers in series and
in parallel.
Solid-state batteries are expected to revolutionize the electric vehicle industry with their inherent safety, fast charging, and an achievable range of over 900 miles on a single charge. However, two major issues have prevented the wide-spread commercialization of solid-state lithium batteries – the difficulty and high cost of manufacturing the batteries and the limited space available in an EV to accommodate a bulky battery system. Current battery pack designs devote much of that space to fire mitigation, a large number of connectors between cells or modules, and large volumes of protective housing materials.
Solidion’s BEEP platform technology solves both this design issue and reduces the manufacturing difficulty, while contributing to a dramatically reduced battery weight, volume and cost. This is accomplished due to the BEEP technology pack requiring only one casing and a small number of connectors – instead of the hundreds of housings and connectors in today’s batteries.

“Solid-state batteries are the future of the EV market but commercialization has been held back by design and manufacturing-related challenges,” said Solidion Board Chairman and Chief Science Officer Dr. Bor Jang. “The internal bipolar electrode stacking in our patent-protected BEEP technology is intrinsically simpler and easier to develop as compared to making individual cells and using external cables to connect multiple pre-fabricated cells. Solidion’s BEEP technology has the ability to deliver significantly improved manufacturability and reduced manufacturing cost – ultimately leading to a faster route to commercialization.”
