Summary
Despite being an ideal solution to the global challenge of tackling the effects of transport emissions, Electric Vehicles (EVs)
have not yet achieved significant mass market penetration. This is mostly due to the fact that the development in the EV
battery industry has been rather incremental, without revolutionary breakthrough since 1991. LiBs represent the gold
standard in the industry; however, they suffer from many issues which are detrimental to the widespread adoption of EVs.
These are mainly related to insufficient performance, in terms of size, energy density and safety, expensive and rigid
production while existing deposition methods has low production rate thus affecting the overall supply of EVs in comparison
to high-growth demand (CAGR of 20%).
Pulsedeon developed Coldab, a coating technology leveraging Ultra-Short Pulsed Laser Deposition (USPLD), that can
optimize production of LiB & its components on a large scale. Coldab’s unique USPLD process allows cost-effective
manufacturing of a new class of safer, smart tailored, high-performance EV batteries. Pulsedeon favours the
competitiveness of European battery manufacturers by offering a cutting-edge manufacturing process and promotes a clean
environment. To increase the EV’s affordability & improve their performance, Coldab brings battery manufacturing to a new
level of scalability, at the same time preserving performance by increasing the battery’s energy density and safety.
Overall objective of Pulsedeon is to introduce a paradigm shifting within EV battery manufacturing process to facilitate the
widespread adoption of EVs. During the innovation project, Pulsedeon intends to upgrade & validate Coldab system to
automate the production of LiBs & its components, conduct extensive validation tests of the system and produced LiBs,
setup a scalable supply chain & finally conduct pilot tests with 8 battery OEMs confirming technology’s performance and
advantages in a commercial environment.
