Pentalys Energy

Making „impossible“ electrification possible

Pentalys Energy is commercializing materials for Li-S batteries with long lifetime: lightweight, high power and cost-efficient. We are based on 10+ years of research from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Norway, and are now proving that the promising results from the lab are still valid on commercial scale.

Powernap Energy

Power- and Energy-Dense Batteries from Earth-Abundant Inputs

Powernap Energy engineers low-cost batteries from Earth-abundant inputs for applications that demand supply chain security, moderate to high energy density, and high power density.

Kerafol Keramische Folien

Battery Architectures – From „Cell to Module“ to „Cell to Pack“

The presentation explains the transition from traditional „Cell-to-Module“ battery architectures to „Cell-to-Pack“ systems, where Thermal Interface Materials (TIMs) must serve not only as thermal conductors but also as structural and mechanical elements. Modern EV battery applications therefore require TIMs with high thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, elasticity, controlled adhesion, and long-term stability against cell swelling, vibration, and thermal cycling. Kerafol positions silicone-based gap fillers as the preferred solution over PU materials because they offer greater flexibility, durability, recyclability, and processability while enabling customized solutions for automotive applications.

70.energy

Prelithiation and silicon anodes for the next generation of Li-ion batteries and capacitors

70.energy industrializes an electromechanical prelithiation process that inserts lithium into the silicon anode before cell assembly — in 70 seconds, at production speed, with no cell redesign required. We recover the value that today every (silicon) anode cell destroys in its first cycle. Our technology works for Li-ion batteries and capacitors alike — two markets, one process.

Pulsetrain

Battery systems have been crippled by hard-wired, inflexible series and parallel configurations from the beginning. New semiconductor technology can help overcome this limitation and, when used well, pave the way to electromobility 2.0.
