Argylium is a European joint venture created by Axens, Syensqo, and IFP Energies nouvelles (IFPEN). The company focuses on the research, development, and industrialization of sulfide-based solid electrolytes for next-generation all-solid-state lithium batteries.
Operating at the intersection of advanced inorganic chemistry and process engineering, Argylium covers activities from laboratory research and prototyping to pilot-scale synthesis and scale-up. It aims to provide qualified electrolyte materials and related technologies to battery cell manufacturers and OEMs in automotive and stationary energy storage markets within the European battery ecosystem.
Chiovato and Buissette lead efforts to scale sulfide solid electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries, targeting 500 Wh/kg by 2028-2030, with plans for funding and industrial scale-up.
Argylium aims to scale solid-state battery materials, enhancing safety and energy density, and fostering collaboration with European research and industry partners.
