TALLAHASSEE, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AdvancedMaterials—Piersica, Inc., a leader in next-generation battery innovation, today announced the launch of its patented polymer technology, PIRION™, engineered specifically to advance lithium-ion battery performance.
PIRION offers a unique combination of qualities, delivering high conductivity and voltage stability, strong thermal resilience and durability, setting a new standard for lightweight battery materials and advanced energy storage applications. Compatible with all existing lithium-ion batteries, the polymer’s innovative chemistry produces a low-cost material that enables next-generation batteries with substantially increased energy density and enhanced safety.
PIRION delivers unmatched material performance:
- Amorphous Composition: PIRION’s disordered molecular structure enhances lithium salt solubility and ion mobility, yielding superior conductivity.
- Thermal Resilience: In addition to its low flammability, PIRION can withstand temperatures above 300°C without melting, adding critical safety benefits to the cell.
- Voltage Stability: PIRION demonstrates stability at voltage levels that significantly exceed Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) and Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF), making it compatible with next-generation, high-voltage cathodes.
- Mechanical Durability: PIRION delivers high mechanical strength, which supports robust cell components.
- Piezoelectric Properties: PIRION is designed to generate an electric charge when compressed, increasing its range of potential applications beyond batteries, such as ultrasound imaging and automotive and wearable sensors.
“Piersica was founded with the goal of creating a next-generation, ultra-high energy density battery that would set a new benchmark for the industry. The launch of PIRION is the culmination of years of research and development, which is a critical milestone to accomplishing this goal,” said Claudiu Bucur, CEO of Piersica, Inc. “PIRION is a game-changing, lightweight material that offers an unparalleled combination of ionic conductivity, heat tolerance and compatibility with high voltage cathodes. This distinctive mix of properties allows it to function as both an electrode binder and a solid polymer electrolyte. While its initial applications are in batteries, PIRION’s versatility positions it for breakthrough innovations across multiple industries.”
Utilizing PIRION in combination with Piersica’s proprietary anode, the company is currently developing cells with an energy density capable of exceeding 600 Wh/kg. These PIRION-enhanced cells can be manufactured less expensively than today’s conventional lithium-ion batteries.
