Summary
Critical Resources Limited (ASX:CRR) has advanced its solid-state lithium-ion battery evaluation program to full-format pouch cell testing. This step is significant as it moves from coin cell validation to demonstrating that the DSD-deposited cathode composite can be assembled and cycled in a full-format cell. The cells use a liquid electrolyte baseline, but plans are in place to integrate CRR’s Amorphous Solid-State Electrolyte (ASE) as a thin film, progressing towards a full solid-state cell. The program, conducted at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, aims to de-risk the DSD process while exploring licensing and partnership opportunities. The company focuses on a capital-light, disciplined evaluation approach and does not plan to manufacture cells itself but rather license its technology.
Key Points
  • Transition from coin cells to full-format pouch cells.
  • Integration of DSD-deposited cathode composite in full-format cells.
  • Use of liquid electrolyte baseline before solid-state integration.
  • Development of Amorphous Solid-State Electrolyte (ASE) with high ionic conductivity.
  • Focus on licensing IP rather than manufacturing cells.
  • Collaboration with South Dakota School of Mines & Technology.
  • Capital-light evaluation approach to de-risk DSD process.
  • Potential for increased licensing and partnership opportunities.
