QuantumScape
QuantumScape is a publicly-traded company focused on developing solid-state lithium-metal batteries for electric vehicles and other applications. The company aims to improve battery performance by offering higher energy density, faster charging times, and enhanced safety compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries. QuantumScape's technology is based on the use of a solid electrolyte, which replaces the liquid electrolyte found in traditional batteries. This innovation is intended to address common issues such as dendrite formation, which can lead to short-circuits and reduced battery lifespan. By advancing battery technology, QuantumScape seeks to support the transition to sustainable energy and increase the adoption of electric vehicles.
