ProLogium's Manufacturing Breakthroughs: Efficient Production for Next-Gen Batteries

ProLogium's approach to battery manufacturing sets it apart in the industry. In January 2024, the company inaugurated the world's first giga-level lithium ceramic battery factory in Taoyuan, Taiwan. This facility is a testament to ProLogium's ability to achieve large-scale production with remarkable efficiency. The factory has achieved a yield rate of 99.9% on the pilot line, a significant milestone that underscores its production prowess.

Founder and Chair Vincent Yang highlighted the company's commitment to innovation, stating: "We believe that the technical foundation we built in the early years is invaluable for our transition to electric vehicles and mass production."

The factory employs several groundbreaking manufacturing technologies, including continuous wet coating for solid-state electrolytes, which enhances production efficiency and quality while reducing costs. ProLogium's patented "Logithium” structure improves accuracy and electrode adhesion, significantly enhancing the manufacturing process. Additionally, their separator process technology allows production line speeds of up to 55 meters per minute, and their "hot flow dehydration" process reduces material processing time from 8 hours to just 8 minutes. The company recently released the following video that takes us inside the facility.

Innovative battery design

The manufacturing advancements at ProLogium are made possible by its novel battery designs. The company has reimagined lithium-ion batteries with a new platform that replaces conventional polymer separators with ceramic ones. This breakthrough supports high-activity, high-capacity anode materials such as all-silicon and various solid-state electrolyte materials, accommodating a wide range of battery chemistries.

Yang explained the significance of these advancements: "Through continuous innovation and adjustment, we successfully developed flexible ceramic separators and accumulated numerous patents."

ProLogium's batteries achieve volumetric energy densities of 700-900 Wh/L and gravimetric energy densities exceeding 500 Wh/kg, thanks to ultra-thin anodes and excellent ionic conductivity. These batteries can charge from 5% to 80% in just 8.5 minutes, significantly enhancing the turnover rate of charging stations and promoting infrastructure expansion.

Moreover, ProLogium's battery architecture enables faster and more scalable manufacturing capabilities. With hundreds of exclusive global patents, the company has streamlined processes, boosted production efficiency, and cut costs. Their batteries' high energy density reduces the overall volume and weight of battery packs, resulting in more compact and lightweight systems that improve driving efficiency and reduce initial purchasing costs for consumers.

Global expansion and future prospects

Founded in 2006, ProLogium has expanded its reach globally, delivering nearly 8,000 next-generation battery samples to automakers worldwide. With its first giga-level factory now operational, the company is set to supply automakers starting in 2024. ProLogium's recent opening of its first overseas R&D center in Paris-Saclay and the planned Dunkirk gigafactory underline its commitment to accelerating capacity expansion in key markets.

ProLogium's continuous advancements in materials and manufacturing processes are expected to further improve driving range, maximize resource utilization, and reduce costs, making sustainable battery technology more accessible and commercially viable.
