Is the future of solid-state batteries 3D-printed?
Posted by Jose Ruben Rodriguez Fuentes in categories: 3D printing, energy
The race to create a solid-state battery that could compete with today’s lithium-ion cells is heating up. In the past few years, there’s been a lot of R&D around solid electrolytes that promise to be safer and more powerful. In this video, we visit Sakuú, a company that doesn’t just want to make solid-state batteries, they also want to 3D-print them.
