Superlattice Power Inc. (SLAT.OB) is a company focused on developing and producing the next-generation lithium battery. These batteries can be used to power electric vehicles and have potential applications in homes and commercial buildings as a source of zero-emissions power.

Superlattice Power’s researchers have investigated high-capacity and energy-dense superlattice structures in an attempt to develop the next-generation lithium-ion polymer battery that is environmentally non-toxic, safe, less expensive and more powerful. What is a superlattice? The term refers to the crystal structure of a compound and indicates periodically alternating layers of several substances.

Until the efforts made by Superlattice, all prior efforts to substitute lithium for the transition metal have failed. The prior efforts all resulted in a loss of energy storage capacity over time. However, Superlattice Power announced earlier this year that the company has synthsized a new cathode material called Superlattice Structure

Storage capacity is a key limitation of modern electronic equipment. Though we have come a long way since the days when computers would fill entire rooms, the size, weight, and capacity of a hard disc continues to restrict laptop features. Moving parts are other important drawbacks of modern consumer devices: they require relatively frequent servicing, and can develop faults rather quickly.

The flash memory feature has fuelled important consumer values in recent times. It reduces weight and other physical dimensions, while allowing instant access to voluminous electronic data. Solid state drives will take flash advantages fast-forward, with revolutionary potentials for all portable and mobile computing devices.

Many skeptics scoffed at the single-minded focus of this small-capital upstart from Santa Ana, CA. The company even divested a profitable and investor-friendly consumer business in order to free resources for the development of solid state drives. However, the benefits of this cutting-edge technology have
