Qkera

Next-generation battery architectures promise safer, more powerful, and cost-effective Li-ion batteries. These require solid electrolytes, where the trade-off is between high-performing but expensive and brittle oxide ceramics or more reactive, softer and cheaper polymer and sulfide electrolytes.

Qkera has spent over six years solving oxide ceramic electrolyte production challenges. Using a breakthrough chemical synthesis approach, it produces thin, flexible sheets of a widely field-tested oxide ceramic electrolyte as a drop-in product. 

The material Qkera offers is considered the most promising candidate for next-generation batteries. The product provides flexible, ionically conductive oxide ceramic layers deposited on polymer electrolytes and separators. This resolves interface issues toward the cathode, providing a strong barrier for high-energy anodes. The sheets are processed using standard roll-to-roll methods, as with other battery materials. This offers mechanical robustness, low resistance, scalability, and low cost.
