Sakuu Corporation, San Jose, California, USA, has launched its high power density Li-Metal Cypress™ cell chemistry for manufacturing licensing that, it states, focuses on safety. “Our proprietary lithium-metal battery chemistry delivers key cell performance and safety attributes that enable a new paradigm in battery manufacturing and energy storage,” said Robert Bagheri, Sakuu founder and CEO.

“We are pleased to launch our Cypress cell chemistry for licensing to today’s battery manufacturers, using roll-to-roll manufacturing technology. We at Sakuu are excited to enable the acceleration of electrification for mobility and other markets.”

Sakuu’s Cypress cell chemistry reportedly delivers both high power (8C pulse discharge, 3C continuous discharge) and energy density (750+ Wh/l). Industry-standard certification procedures, including UN/UL testing, are currently underway.

Earlier this year, the company announced promising results on its functional additively manufactured lithium-metal battery, as well as what the company has referred to as the first additively manufactured patterned lithium-metal anodes and lithium-metal batteries in a custom form factor.

“Lithium-metal battery chemistries produce increased energy density and additional performance benefits, but typically present development challenges due to high reactivity,” said Arwed Niestroj, Sakuu Senior Vice President. “With Cypress, Sakuu has solved these issues through novel electrochemistry, making lithium-metal chemistry ready for scalable production. The compatibility with 3D printing will further enhance the effective use of battery packaging volume with new and unique approaches to thermal management. Li-Metal cells have advantages that Sakuu has made attainable, scalable, and safe. Manufacturers can now license this technology.”
