On April 16, ProLogium was awarded a Gold Edison Award in the Battery Materials & Manufacturing category during the Edison Awards gala in Fort Myers, Florida. This marks ProLogium’s third Edison Award, recognizing its Gen 4 Superfluidized All-Inorganic Solid-State Lithium Ceramic Battery. The award highlights the company’s ongoing efforts to advance solid-state battery technology across safety, materials, and manufacturing platforms.
ProLogium’s Gen 4 technology builds on a superfluidized all-inorganic electrolyte, an all-ceramic separator, and a 100 percent silicon anode. Since winning its first Edison Award in 2021 for its Active Safety Mechanism (ASM) material, ProLogium has iteratively improved both materials and cell architecture. Key milestones include the development of an ASM-embedded solid-state electrolyte (2022–2024) and the 2025 breakthrough in superfluidization, which delivers strong interfacial contact and high electrical performance without external pressure.
Three primary performance advances underpin Gen 4 technology:
- Interfacial stability and high conductivity without external pressure. The superfluidized electrolyte achieves near-unity transference number and ionic conductivity of 57 mS/cm—more than five times that of conventional systems—while operating under pressure-free conditions.
- High energy density, fast charging, and low-temperature capability. The cells deliver 860 Wh/L volumetric energy density, support 60–80 percent charge in 4–6 minutes, and maintain 90 percent of room-temperature performance at –20 °C.
- Dual-function electrolyte for intrinsic safety. The nonflammable electrolyte can release ASM in situ under stress, passivating active materials to prevent thermal runaway and enabling cell energy densities of 860–940 Wh/L.
ProLogium emphasizes that its platform balances safety, performance, cost, and manufacturability. The electrolyte uses no rare materials, is recyclable, and can be produced with industrial-grade inputs. Manufacturing requires 30–40 percent fewer steps and cuts dry-room needs by 60–70 percent, supporting faster scale-up.
ProLogium plans to deploy this technology in electric vehicles, energy storage, aerospace, eVTOL, maritime, robotics, and large-scale systems. Vincent Yang, Founder and CEO of ProLogium, commented that the award underscores the company’s commitment to “building a reliable, scalable, and sustainable path to industrialization” as it supports global energy and transportation transitions.
