A consortium of British companies and research organisations are pooling their resources to try to commercialise a design for a solid-state battery.
The design has been developed by the Faraday Institution, an independent UK research organisation focused on energy storage. To build a prototype and prepare for commercialisation, they are joining with the Glencore Plc-backed British battery startup Britishvolt Ltd., Emerson & Renwick Ltd., Johnson Matthey Plc as well as Oxford University, a department of the University of Warwick and the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre.
