Musashi has invested in Keracel, a 3D printed solid state battery startup. This is Musashi's first investment in the battery sector.
Keracel has developed a technology to 3D print solid state batteries, which are considered to be the next generation of batteries. The company's batteries are made of ceramic materials and have a high energy density. They are also non-flammable and have a long lifespan.
Musashi will use its investment to help Keracel commercialize its technology and to develop new battery materials. The two companies will also collaborate on research and development.
What are solid state batteries?
Solid state batteries are a new type of battery that uses solid electrolytes instead of liquid electrolytes. This gives them a number of advantages over traditional lithium-ion batteries.
- They are much safer than lithium-ion batteries, as they are non-flammable and have a lower risk of exploding.
- They have a higher energy density, which means they can store more energy in a given volume.
- They are more stable and have a longer lifespan.
Solid state batteries are seen as the next generation of batteries, and many companies are investing in the technology. Keracel's 3D printing technology is seen as a key advantage in the development of solid state batteries.
