Cuberg's Lithium Metal Cell Technology Reaches New Externally Validated Cycle Life Milestone

One year since Cuberg's acquisition by Northvolt, the group has accelerated its development of the next generation of high-performance battery technology. Here’s the state of play.

The lithium-ion battery is good for moving cars short distances, but aviation requires longer-lasting power. Maybe we need to try other elements.

Energy density is a constant pursuit for those who make batteries for electric vehicles. The only problem? It isn’t cost effective on the ground, and it likely won't be for nearly a decade.

That’s why Cuberg has its eye on the sky.

Cuberg is making lithium-metal batteries, which it says will be twice as energy dense as standard lithium-ion, and could therefore help electric vehicles become cheaper and more efficient.

Richard Wang speaks about Northvolt's acquisition of Cuberg and the future of battery technologies and electric aviation on the Allplane Podcast.

After a Stanford study found lithium-metal batteries lose up to 25% of their lifetime capacity sitting on the shelf, Cuberg CEO Richard Wang data pointed to commercial data showing this is not an issue for Cuberg's electrolyte.

Cuberg is one of the earliest companies supported at Cyclotron Road at Berkeley Lab that supports leading entrepreneurial scientists as they develop commercially viable technology solutions for clean energy and bring them to market.

The acquisition of Cuberg gives Northvolt a window into the newest battery chemistry that’s being touted as a savior for the industry — lithium metal batteries.

The topic is the next generation batteries with lithium metal anode and liquid electrolyte for electric aviation and vehicles.

Building on the acquisition, Northvolt intends to establish a technology center in Silicon Valley for materials R&D.

A big announcement from Cuberg suggests that the decadeslong quest for a magical solid-state battery material may have been unnecessary. A liquid electrolyte works just fine with lithium metal.

Northvolt’s U.S. operations, led by Cuberg, will develop next-generation battery cells for the electromobility market with a lower price point, better performance and increased safety.

Northvolt's acquisition of Cuberg marks a key milestone toward CEO Richard Wang's goal of advancing electromobility and a watershed moment for Activate, where Wang launched his transition from scientist to founder.

The Volkswagen Group is chasing unprecedented electric-vehicle (EV) energy density and range by 2025 after its Swedish battery cell partner snapped up the US cell research company, Cuberg.

The technology developed by a business spun out of Stanford five years ago could deliver an electrolyte with energy density of more than 1 kWh/l.

Swedish battery maker accelerates ramp-up as European EV sales surge.

Northvolt, the high-profile Swedish battery startup launched by a former Tesla supply chain VP, just announced that it has acquired a US-based battery startup, Cuberg.

The results, including up to 80% increase in specific energy relative to Li-ion cells of comparable high-power output, are a major step forward in performance and maturity of battery technology for electric mobility.

Cuberg received independent validation of its lithium-metal battery technology from the Idaho National Laboratory on behalf of The U.S. Department of Energy.

Cuberg CEO Richard Wang spoke at TexasUP, a secret summit on the future of urban air mobility.

Cuberg has shown promise for the development of better battery technology to help electrically powered transportation devices fly or drive longer.

Boeing-backed Cuberg demonstrated the world's first vertical drone powered by a lithium metal battery. The quadcopter flew 70 percent longer than the one powered by a lithium-ion battery.

As drone technology continues to improve, Cuberg has ceated a lithium metal battery that can extend flight time.

Cuberg demonstrated the world's first vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) drone powered by a safe lithium metal battery. The drone powered by Cuberg's technology flies 70% longer than one powered by lithium-ion technology.

Cuberg was one of 12 prize winners in the United States Army's 2018 xTechSearch contest.

Boeing’s HorizonX venture investment team led a seed funding round for Cuberg, a California startup focusing on next-generation battery technology for potential aerospace and industrial applications.

Boeing is joining the global scramble for efficient batteries. The aerospace giant’s venture arm Boeing HorizonX Ventures has taken a minority stake in battery start-up Cuberg.
