Meet Solidion
Solidion Technology, Inc. formerly Honeycomb Battery Company (the energy solutions division of Global Graphene Group, Inc.), is a Dayton, Ohio, USA-based advanced battery technology company focused on the development and commercialization of battery materials, components, cells, and selected module/pack technologies.
The Solidion Technology Story
In a groundbreaking move, Solidion Technology, Inc. emerged as a key player in the battery industry through a strategic merger of its precursor, Honeycomb Battery Co. (HBC), and Nubia Brand International, a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). HBC was founded in 2015 and became a fully-owned subsidiary of Global Graphene Group (G3) in 2016.
Solidion has an impressive intellectual property portfolio, holding over 525 patents globally, with 355 in the United States and 170 in various foreign jurisdictions. This treasure trove of patents, originating from HBC/G3, covers next-generation battery technologies. Notably, HBC/G3 gained recognition by winning the prestigious R&D100 award in 2018 for their Silicon Anode Material, a testament to their innovation.
HBC/G3's prowess in solid-state batteries has positioned the company as one of the top two US leaders in solid-state electrolytes, according to a KnowMade Report in December 2021. Additionally, HBC/G3 is recognized as a top startup in the lithium-ion battery silicon anode space, as indicated in a KnowMade report in April 2022. This remarkable journey continues with the company achieving the number one rank in the world for sodium-ion battery IP value, surpassing major competitors, according to a Nikkei Economics report.
Further, Solidion's all-solid-state battery platform technology is well-positioned to transform the EV battery space into a solid-state battery industry. Solidion will provide solid-state batteries that can be manufactured at scale using current lithium-ion cell production facilities. Solidion batteries are designed to deliver significantly extended EV range, improved battery safety, lower cost per KWh, fastest time-to-market, and enable next-gen cathodes (potential to replace expensive nickel and cobalt with sulfur (S) and other more abundant elements).
Solidion Technology, Inc. is not just a merger of companies; it's a convergence of innovation, strategic vision, and a commitment to shaping the future of energy storage. With a rich history and a forward-looking approach, Solidion is set to play a pivotal role in the evolution of battery technologies, offering innovative solutions to power a sustainable world.
