innovation team realized that while solid-state batteries are theoretically capable of very high performance, in practice, they don\u2019t exceed all of the performance and economic requirements of today\u2019s best Li-ion batteries in EVs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA major bottleneck of solid-state development is the anode, where the use of metallic lithium can cause a range of issues leading to slower charge\/discharge characteristics, safety issues both within the battery and in mass production, and higher cost,\u201d the firm said in a media statement.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Talga\u2019s view, its proposed Talnode-E can overcome these issues.<\/p>\n<p>Managing Director Mark Thompson said in the media brief that the firm has already attained non-disclosure agreements with leading electronic and automotive companies looking to test its anodes, which will be produced with its 100%-owned Swedish graphite supply.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The
