K-Ion
Low-cost Batteries made from Earth-Abundant Rocks for Grid-Scale and Automotive applications
About the project
Our idea is to enable a new generation of potassium-ion batteries with performance approaching state-of-the-art lithium-ion systems, while fully eliminating lithium and other critical elements. Rather than redesigning the battery, we retain the proven Li-ion architecture and manufacturing ecosystem and replace only the active materials. We realize this based on our patented concept, in which potassium-based, earth-abundant oxides and silicates are chemically activated to function as high-performance electrode and electrolyte materials. This approach opens a pathway toward sustainable, scalable, and geopolitically secure batteries that can meet the safety, lifetime, and power demands of future automotive applications.
Type of project
The project is supported by Innovation Fund Denmark through InnoExplorer program.
