ProLogium wins third Edison Award for superfluidized all‑inorganic solid‑state lithium ceramic battery
- Gold Edison Award in the Battery Materials & Manufacturing project under the Material Science category for ProLogium’s superfluidized all‑inorganic solid‑state lithium ceramic battery.
- Electrolyte claims a migration number close to 1 and ionic conductivity 5–6× that of sulfide and liquid electrolytes, retaining >90% efficiency at −20°C.
- Battery reports 860 Wh/L volumetric energy density, charges to 60–80% in 4–6 minutes, and achieves −20°C performance equivalent to room temperature.
- Manufacturing claims: industrial‑grade raw materials (98.5%) purified to 99.9% via superfluidization, BOM cost close to liquid electrolytes, 30–40% fewer process steps and 60–70% lower drying room needs.
Award recognition
ProLogium won the gold Edison Award in the Battery Materials & Manufacturing project under the Material Science category for its "Superfluidized All‑Inorganic Solid‑State Lithium Ceramic Battery", marking the company’s third Edison Award and linking the win to progress toward commercialisation.
Roadmap and verified breakthroughs
ProLogium says its roadmap moved from the Active Safety Mechanism (ASM) recognised in 2021, to all‑inorganic solid‑state electrolyte synthesis (2022–2024), and a superfluidization breakthrough (2024–2025). The platform combines a superfluidized all‑inorganic electrolyte, all‑ceramic separator and all‑silicon anode.
Performance claims
The company reports an electrolyte migration number close to 1 and ionic conductivity 5–6 times that of sulfide solid‑state and liquid electrolytes, maintaining >90% efficient operation at −20°C. The battery is cited at 860 Wh/L volumetric energy density, charges to 60–80% in 4–6 minutes, and is said to match room‑temperature performance at −20°C, with high‑energy variants noted at 860–940 Wh/L.
Safety, manufacturing and applications
The dual‑function electrolyte is described as non‑flammable and able to release ASM in situ to passivate electrodes and suppress thermal runaway. ProLogium states the material set avoids rare elements, uses industrial‑grade inputs (98.5%) refined to 99.9% via superfluidization, keeps BOM cost close to liquid systems, reduces 30–40% of process steps and lowers 60–70% of drying room requirements. Target applications include electric vehicles, energy storage, aerospace, eVTOL, ships, humanoid robots and large‑scale storage.
