ProLogium and MAHLE have recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the development of a thermal management system specifically tailored for ProLogium’s next generation solid-state batteries. This partnership aims to contribute to the commercialization of solid-state battery solutions that offer improved safety, energy density, and lifespan.
Under the terms of the MOU, both ProLogium and MAHLE will work together on cell tests focusing on thermal properties. The goal is to facilitate the development of innovative thermal management solutions for solid-state batteries. This marks the first time that MAHLE, a well-established automotive supplier with a century of experience, has ventured into the solid-state battery industry. Following a series of evaluations on ProLogium’s solid-state batteries with 100% SiOx anode, the two companies will explore the possibility of building prototypes for “ProLogium-MAHLE” solid-state cell modules and battery packs.
Vincent Yang, CEO and founder of ProLogium Technology, expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating that the shared goal of both companies is to accelerate the adoption of clean transportation through innovation. He also highlighted the potential for collaboration in manufacturing and the supply chain. Yang believes that the partnership between ProLogium and MAHLE, both pioneers in the next-generation battery and engineering fields, represents a significant step forward in shaping a revolutionary battery value chain. This is crucial for advancing the industrialization of solid-state batteries.
Arnd Franz, Chairman of the MAHLE Management Board and CEO, described the cooperation with ProLogium as an “absolute win-win situation.” He emphasized that the combined expertise of both companies will contribute to shaping future battery technologies with superior properties.
ProLogium’s solid-state batteries utilize oxide ceramic electrolytes, which offer higher heat conductivity and thermal stability. As a result, the development of a thermal management system requires a unique approach to heat dissipation and thermal control in the design process. Polun Cheng, Global Project Management AVP of ProLogium Technology, highlighted the importance of a well-designed thermal management system in enhancing the performance and lifespan of ProLogium batteries. By leveraging MAHLE’s deep expertise in advanced thermal management systems, the aim is to create electric vehicle (EV) battery solutions that provide increased energy density and chargeability, while maintaining excellent safety, stability, and overall performance.
In conclusion, the collaboration between ProLogium and MAHLE represents a significant step forward in the development of solid-state battery technology. By combining their expertise, the two companies aim to create innovative thermal management solutions that will enhance the safety, energy density, and lifespan of ProLogium’s next generation solid-state batteries. This partnership not only accelerates the adoption of clean transportation but also paves the way for the industrialization of solid-state batteries in the future.
