Taiwanese Solid-state Battery Maker Wins Another Edison Award

TAIPEI, April 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The 2021 Edison Awards gala was held in Fort Meyers, Florida on Thursday, April 22 with solid-state battery maker ProLogium of Taiwan being being awarded a bronze award after being selected as a finalist in the category of Critical Human Infrastructure.

The three finalists in the subcategory are all outstanding examples of utilizing technology innovation as a means to promote safety and efficiency of electricity use. ProLogium is chosen for its proprietary ASM (Active Safety Mechanism) technology designed for battery safety.

Winners are decided by the votes of 3,000 senior industry leaders, making the award a truly special honor.

Founded in 1987, the Edison Awards is an annual celebration of innovative technology highlighting excellent inventions for the betterment of human life. ProLogium is the only solid-state battery company in the world that has been recognized two times in the Awards’ over 100 years of history.

Back in 2019, ProLogium won its first Edison Gold Award for its patented BiPolar+ technology. The BiPolar+ technology took solid-state battery performance to a whole new level, while the ASM technology guarantees absolute safety. This signifies another major step forward for the application of solid-state battery in EV cars.

The ASM, or Active Safety Mechanism, is a technology developed by ProLogium that actively terminates the thermal runaway reaction and ensures the safety of battery cells.

“We believe that ASM is the only way to absolute safety for EV and ESS battery. With the ASM technology, we are able to fulfill our commitment to battery safety. We hope to combine the ASM with the MAB, ProLogium’s propriety modular technology, and introduce our battery module to the market, so that we can help automotive OEMs as well as customers with needs for large-capacity battery packs to optimize their product performance and eliminate any risk of fire or explosion. In other words, we can make truly safe battery with excellent mileage capacity and usher in a new era for solid-state battery” said CEO of ProLogium, Vincent Yang said in an interview.

As stated by Martin Eberhard, cofounder, original CEO and chairman of Tesla, “ProLogium’s solid-state electrolyte battery technology is the most exciting new development I have seen in this field. The combination of safety, aging characteristics, fast charge rate, and bipolar packaging, all without sacrifice energy density, and at a competitive price, make ProLogium cells the best I have seen for automotive applications.”
