Learn how very small solid state batteries can enable novel, disruptive medical implantable innovation; and how their high temperature tolerance make them ideal for sensing application in industrial contaxt
2. Ilika History
Page 2
Our mission is to rapidly develop leading-edge IP,
manufacture and sell solid state batteries (SSB)
for high performance applications. We will
achieve this using ceramic-based lithium-ion
technology that is inherently safe in manufacture
and usage.
15 years in rapid materials innovation
Founded 2004, AIM Listed 2010
Launched cm-scale SSB technology 2016 & mm-scale 2019
Collaborating with Auto industry partners & UK Government to
develop solid state EV pouch cells (2-year funded R&D program)

8. Application: Sensing Wafers
Page 8Page 831/03/20
Calibration wafers with sensors, inserted in Si growth
chamber to ensure correct parameters for deposition
Logs deposition data in memory, or transmitted via RF
Cannot be cabled
Battery requirements met by Stereax SSB
<1 mm thick
Operates to 150°C
Recommended battery: P180
9. Application: Remote Condition Monitoring

Energy from vibrating blade is stored in
SSB
Data transmitted wirelessly to Cloud via Gateway (LoRa)
Recommended Stereax battery: C1000 (1 mAh)
Battery powers transducer which measures
vibration spectrum of blade as a “signature”
of its health (cracks, delamination, rain,
thunder…)
