The Battery Show
A PARC researcher had an “a-ha” moment while brushing his teeth with striped toothpaste, giving him the idea to structure batteries more efficiently using printing technology. Without changing fundamental chemistry, "co-extrusion" printing of batteries increases energy and power, and ultimately decreases cost.
This presentation explores how this innovative battery printing technique, already being implemented with a partner for solar cell fabrication, improves how we can design and make batteries. PARC has demonstrated a 20-30% energy density improvement for coin cell batteries.
This presentation will cover how CoEx:
- Offers a new approach to simultaneously optimize power, energy density and cost using current battery chemistries
- Can easily be 'dropped in' to the manufacturing process without having to redesign the factory floor
- Is a proven manufacturing process
Additional information
Our work is centered around a series of Focus Areas that we believe are the future of science and technology.
We’re continually developing new technologies, many of which are available for Commercialization.
PARC scientists and staffers are active members and contributors to the science and technology communities.
