Soteria Battery Innovation Group (BIG) is at the forefront of revolutionizing safety in the lithium-ion battery industry. By developing and licensing two groundbreaking technologies coupled with an open-innovation platform, Soteria aims to address and mitigate the fundamental issues that lead to thermal runaway—a common and hazardous problem in lithium-ion batteries. Their innovative architecture leverages thermally stable separators and metallized film current collectors, effectively acting as an internal fuse to prevent battery fires by stopping the flow of current at critical moments. This solution not only enhances safety but also alleviates the need for heavy and costly containment measures such as flame retardants, cooling systems, and steel encasements. Soteria BIG operates as a consortium, uniting industry experts across the supply chain, from raw material suppliers to end-users, to foster commercial adoption and implement these safety advancements across the battery technology spectrum.
