Description

CIDETEC’s SSB Lab specializes in the development of solid-state batteries, a key technology for the next generation of energy storage. The facility enables the handling, processing, and characterization of solid ion-conducting materials and compatible electrodes, as well as the assembly of cells specifically designed for this architecture.

The laboratory is equipped to operate under ultra-low-humidity conditions and supports both materials research and the validation of functional cells.
