Goliath is Ilika's advanced solid state battery technology, primarily designed to enhance the performance of electric vehicles and cordless consumer electronics. These batteries utilize an oxide solid electrolyte coupled with a silicon anode, which not only boosts safety during manufacturing and storage but also allows for operations at higher temperatures than traditional lithium-ion batteries. This results in a simplified battery management system and a safer, higher energy density solution that extends vehicle range and enables fast charging.
One of the significant benefits of Goliath batteries is their high cell-to-pack ratio, which contributes to lighter vehicles. This technology aims to revolutionize electric transportation by improving the efficiency and reliability of energy storage systems. The ongoing development of Goliath includes a focus on scaling up production, from initial MWh scale at Ilika's pilot facilities to eventual Giga scale manufacturing, emphasizing its readiness for widespread adoption.
Ilika's commitment to collaboration is highlighted through the Goliath Lead Partner Program, inviting OEMs and Tier 1 manufacturers to gain early insights and influence in the technology's development. Through these partnerships, Ilika is preparing to meet the stringent demands of the automotive industry, promising a solid state solution that aligns with future mobility needs.
