In 2012, Solid Power started developing its technology to produce solid-state batteries for electric vehicles. Instead of liquids, as in a lithium ion cell, a solid-state version uses solid materials such as ceramics or polymers through which the charge moves from one electrode to another.
Solid Power has produced automotive-scale batteries and will expand its capacity when it moves into a 75,000-square-foot building in Thornton. Company officials said the move will allow them to greatly increase production of the sulfide-based electrolyte material needed for the batteries.
Operations at the new plant are expected to start in mid-2022. Solid Power has agreements to supply Ford Motor Co. and BMW Group with batteries. (https://www.denverpost.com/2021/12/09/solid-power-inc-goes-public/)
