Electrifying passenger and commercial travel

 Solid Power develops solid-state lithium-metal batteries for EV, aircraft, satellites, and industrial applications. Solid Power's proprietary sulfide solid electrolyte powers the flexible All-Solid-State Platform that can enable both high-content silicon and lithium metal in the anode, paired with industry-standard and commercially mature cathodes, including lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxides (NMC). The platform can also use low-cost and energy conversion type cathodes that cannot be used in lithium-ion or other liquid-based cell architectures. When combined with a lithium metal anode, the conversion type cathodes could remove cobalt and nickel from the cathode entirely to decrease cathode material costs by around 90%, according to the company.
 
 
 In 2022, Solid Power began production of 20 ampere-hour (Ah) solid-state batteries on a pilot manufacturing line using lithium-ion production processes and equipment. The company also commenced operations of its second production facility in Denver, Colorado in September 2021.&nbsp;

 , the US Department of Energy awarded Solid Power USD 5.6 million in funding to develop a 3D-structured Li metal anode and sulfur composite cathode for high-energy and fast-charging EV battery cells.
 
 
 Solid Power was listed on Nasdaq through a SPAC merger in December 2021. The deal raised USD 542.9 million at a valuation of USD 1.2 billion. The proceeds were to be used to fund the company&rsquo;s capital-light business model through vehicle integration, which was planned for 2026. The transaction made Solid Power the first listed pure-play solid-state battery company. Solid Power&rsquo;s revenue guidance for 2023 ranges between USD 15 million and USD 20 million.
