HPB and ZNL Energy sign test agreement.
High Performance Battery Technology GmbH and ZNL Energy AS have signed a test agreement for ZNL Energy's innovative ZNL-NPx separator to further improve the series production of the HPB Solid-State Battery.
→ ZNL Energy will equip HPB with test material of their non-porous ZNL-NPx separator.
→ ZNL Energy's separator could simplify handling in series production due to its unique properties and structure.
HPB partners with ZNL Energy to test their groundbreaking ZNL-NPx separator for the first time in solid-state batteries environment. ZNL Energy's separator for lithium-ion batteries restricts electrolyte transfer while allowing ionic transportation. In lithium-ion batteries with liquid electrolytes, this results in enormous potential to further increase the safety and performance of these batteries. With regard to the HPB Solid-State Battery, the ZNL-NPx separator could simplify handling in series production due to its unique properties and structure. The collaboration of HPB and ZNL aims to proof the synergies of two complimentary innovations.
ZNL Energy CEO Benjamin Ferstad said: "Collaboration with industry players in the emerging solid-state sector is a very interesting focus area, as the use cases for batteries can be extended beyond current applications. We find HPB particularly interesting due to their forward thinking on sustainability and reliability, which aligns very much with the goals of ZNL to advance the industry for a better tomorrow through clever use of technology and resources."
HPB CEO Dr. Sebastian Heinz: "We are delighted to have found a partner in ZNL Energy that has not only developed an innovative separator, but is also pursuing the same goals for a safer and more sustainable future."
