“Significant Technical Milestone”

DAYTON, Ohio, June 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solidion Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: STI), an advanced battery technology solutions provider, achieved a “significant technical milestone” related to its commercialization of graphite anode to be used in Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries.

Independent tests conducted for potential EV partners indicate the company’s proprietary graphite anode technology would have amongst the highest specific capacity of any competing graphite based anode currently available, synthetic or natural. This was achieved at a cost equal to what battery manufacturers would expect to pay per metric ton for similar products outside the United States. In addition, the company expects a significant portion of the graphite composition will come from renewable sources such as biomass. Solidion is well positioned to take advantage of the local manufacturing requirements of the Inflation Reduction Act.

About Solidion Technology, Inc.

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas with pilot production facilities in Dayton, Ohio, Solidion’s core business includes manufacturing of battery materials and components, as well as development and production of next-generation batteries for energy storage systems and electric vehicles for ground, air, and sea transportation. Recognized as a global IP leader in both the high-capacity anode and the high-energy solid-state battery, Solidion is uniquely positioned to offer two lines of battery products: (i) advanced anode materials (ready for production expansion); and (ii) three classes of solid-state batteries, including Silicon-rich all-solid-state lithium-ion cells (Gen 1), anodeless lithium metal cells (Gen 2), and lithium-sulfur cells (Gen 3), all featuring an advanced polymer- or polymer/inorganic composite-based solid electrolyte that is process-friendly. Solidion’s solid-state batteries can be manufactured at scale using current lithium-ion cell production facilities; this feature enables the fastest time-to-market of safe solid-state batteries. Solidion batteries are designed to deliver significantly extended EV range, improved battery safety, lower cost per KWh, fastest time-to-market, and next-gen cathodes (potential to replace expensive nickel and cobalt with sulfur (S) and other more abundant elements).
