The newly raised funds will be allocated towards the establishment of a new production facility, which will include a mass production line for flexible ceramic solid-state electrolyte films and experimental lines for fireproof and heat-insulating ceramic fiber materials, as well as all-solid-state batteries.
With solid-state batteries being perceived as a safer, higher energy-density, and more efficient alternative to conventional liquid batteries, the technology is gaining significant traction in the industry. Solid-state batteries offer enhanced temperature adaptability and are considered a promising next-generation battery solution.
Founded in 2024, MATenergy boasts a core research and development team comprising experts from Donghua University and Soochow University. The founding team brings over a decade of research experience to the table, with their technological innovations entering the commercialization phase in 2018. The company has already secured more than 20 national invention patents and is steadily expanding its intellectual property portfolio.
Specializing in high-performance flexible ceramic solid electrolyte films and fireproof, heat-insulating ceramic nanofiber materials, MATenergy is at the forefront of advancing production technology for all-solid-state lithium batteries. The company is dedicated to delivering innovative solutions in fire safety, battery security, and solid-state battery technology.
In the solid-state battery sector, MATenergy adopts an oxide-based approach and has successfully developed continuous roll-to-roll production technology for ultra-thin flexible solid electrolyte films. These films are compatible with existing liquid lithium battery production lines. Additionally, the company has formulated proprietary recipes, processes, and equipment for solid electrolyte membranes and operates a pilot production line for fireproof ceramic materials and ceramic solid electrolyte films.
