Although the global number of EVs has been increasing since 2010, EVs still have only 1.4% of global vehicle market share. This is mostly due to the fact that the development in the battery industry has been rather incremental, without revolutionary breakthrough since 1991’s launch of the first commercial Lithium-Ion batteries (LIB) by Sony. The advancement and maturity of the battery directly influence the industrialization of EVs. Thus, the biggest challenge the EV market is facing today is related to the limitations of batteries. These are mainly related to insufficient performance, in terms of size, energy density and safety (EV batteries are very flammable), and to expensive battery production, as available deposition methods generally fail to meet the requirements necessary to scale up and automate the production and require fixed casting on each battery specification type. Pulsedeon developed Coldab, a film coating process leveraging Ultra-Short Pulsed Laser Deposition (USPLD), that can optimize the production of LIB components on a large scale. Coldab’s unique PLD coating process allows cost-effective manufacturing of a new class of safer, smart tailored, high-performance EV batteries. Pulsedeon favors the competitiveness of European battery producers by offering a cutting-edge manufacturing process, and promotes a ‘clean environment’. In order to increase the EV’s affordability and improve their performance, Coldab brings EV’s battery manufacturing to a new level of scalability guaranteeing cost-effectiveness, at the same time preserving excellent performance by increasing the battery’s energy capacity and safety. During the phase 1 feasibility study, Pulsedeon will establish a sound go-to-market strategy and supply chain, and will draft further development plans. During the innovation project, Pulsedeon will optimize process automation, set up an industrial manufacturing line, and carry out in-vehicle testing with prospect customers. ver más
