Lithium–sulfur, built around a grown crystalline sulfur cathode: turning an abundant industrial by-product into a high-energy battery, engineered in Berlin

Our battery aims to outperform the state of the art across disciplines

Three functional layers. One cell architecture

Monolithic sulfur wafer, engineered in Berlin

The theion Crystal Battery stack eliminates the performance trade-offs of conventional lithium–ion. Each layer plays a precise role in delivering up to 3× more energy density at 1/3 the material cost

Pre-lithiated host structure

Proprietary lithium metal host anode reduces weight, enables fast charging and avoids dendrites. Patented safe anode design

Semi-solid state

Proprietary gel polymer electrolyte operating within the sulfur wafer voids. Enables intrinsically safe operation

Monoclinic crystalline and conductive coating

Grown directly on top of highly conductive CNTs from molten sulfur via theion's Direct Crystal Imprinting (DCi), with no undefined slurry
