Silicon Valley startup Sakuú says that it has set up a pilot facility for 3D-printed solid-state batteries — the first in the world. That approach would be a big twist in the battery world if
announced that “its first-generation non-printed lithium metal battery has achieved continuous 3C discharge rate under extensive testing.”‘s Steve Hanley, covering the news at the time, wrote, “Based on the company’s Kavian platform, the rapid printed batteries will enable customizable, mass scale, and cost effective manufacturing of solid-state batteries while solving fundamental challenges confronting battery manufacturers today.
Earlier in the year, the company announced a big battery energy density milestone. “Sakuu, developer of the world’s first 3D printed solid-state battery, today announces the benchmark energy-density achievement of 800 Wh/L in its first-generation non-printed lithium metal battery. This marks a significant milestone on Sakuu’s roadmap to fully 3D printable solid-state batteries capable of greater than 1200 Wh/L by 2023.
Alongside the June news, CEO Bagheri said, “As far as our solid state battery development, we are preparing to unveil a new category of rapid printed batteries manufactured at scale using our additive manufacturing platform. The sustainability and supply chain implications of this pioneering development will be transformational.” With big claims, one must bring big proof. Not being one of Sakuú’s clients, we can’t confirm the viability of Sakuú’s tech and plans.
“We are on track to develop that ‘holy grail’ solid-state battery by 2023, and this first-generation benchmark is a validating accomplishment on the roadmap to significantly better batteries,” Bagheri said in March.
