• Innovation of Battery Technology and Novel Materials

  

  IBM Research has been a key player in next-generation battery technologies for more than a decade with the launch of Battery 500 project in 2009. On December 18, 2019, IBM released its research findings of new battery design free of any heavy metals. The revolutionary battery technology is based on a unique electrochemistry. The new-type of battery is made of novel and state-of-the-art proprietary materials without any heavy metals. It is not only more environmentally friendly, but also has excellent performance in energy and power density, charging time, energy efficiency, and cycle life.

• Accelerated Innovation
  Fueled by AI

  

  IBM Research developed Advanced Material Discovery (AMD) platform based on IBM's core strengths on artificial intelligence, quantum computing and machine learning. The Sidus and IBM joint research teams utilize AMD to identify safer and higher performance materials and further optimize battery performance. Using machine learning techniques helps researchers gain insights from millions of data points, allowing them to speed up the pace of innovation. To explore solutions to the challenges associated with existing batteries, research teams also take advantage of IBM lab’s strong infrastructure to study how things work on a molecular and atomic level.

• Innovation of Battery Manufacturing and Scaling up

  

  To move this new battery from early stage exploratory research into commercial development, IBM picked us Sidus Energy as the battery manufacturer. The scaling up presents new challenges. Sidus team is dedicated to continuous advancement of IBM battery technology and creative solutions of battery product engineering, process engineering and manufacturing engineering. Sidus Energy is committed to provide global customers with superior and diversified products.
