Addionics, an innovator in battery architecture, has unveiled the Battery Architecture for Low-Temperature Performance, a technology that will enable the better functioning of batteries in cold temperatures. The technology applies to electric vehicles, electric trucks, drones for defense, aerospace and electric aircraft, among others, in which regular lithium ion batteries perform poorly during low temperatures in terms of energy availability, charging rate, and power. Addionics believes that this new technology may prove useful in enhancing mission capabilities, extending range and improving the charging capabilities, thereby overcoming challenges such as reduced range in electric vehicles and limited payload in electric trucks/defense. The technology uses Addionics Smart 3D Porous Current Collectors, which alter the internal transport structure of battery cells by allowing electrolyte and lithium ions to move through the current collector plane.

This creates additional pathways through the electrode, reduces transport distances and improves access to active materials, helping distribute electrochemical activity more effectively as temperatures fall. The approach could also reduce energy and thermal management requirements in applications such as spacecraft. “By transforming the architecture of the battery cell, Addionics is removing some of the largest limitations that electrified systems have faced,” says Dr. Moshiel Biton, CEO and Founder of Addionics. “Batteries need to perform optimally in all locations and temperatures so that the products they power can be relied upon consistently. Addionics is at the forefront of making the once unachievable possible. We are enabling the always-on world to operate – all of the time, anywhere, even in the cold.”
