VoltaFlex is developing rechargeable lithium and lithium-ion battery components that are flat and very thin, resembling a sheet of plastic. These flexible power components are based on the dry solid polymer electrolyte (DSPE) from MIT. The resulting batteries utilizing DSPE are expected to operate over a wide temperature range, from sub-ambient to elevated (> 75 degrees C).

They will be much thinner, lighter, safer, and less expensive, with an increased energy density that, according to the research done at MIT, is up to 2X higher than current lithium ion batteries, which are all based on a liquid or a plasticized electrolyte. VoltaFlex sees thin film battery products as one of the highest growth markets in sight.VoltaFlex is developing rechargeable lithium and lithium-ion battery components that are flat and very thin, resembling a sheet of plastic.
