Qkera’s core innovation is a proprietary ceramic-oxide solid electrolyte (1–20 μm thick) offering 30–50% higher energy density, non-flammable safety, and compatibility with lithium iron phosphate cathodes. Manufactured using abundant raw materials at lower synthesis temperatures, its roll-to-roll–compatible process reduces costs and environmental impact. The electrolyte integrates with various electrode materials for flexible battery designs.
Solid-state electrolyte films and prototypes based on its ceramic-oxide technology, featuring ultrathin membranes (1–20 μm) that enhance energy density, mechanical stability, and safety for electric vehicles and consumer electronics.
Won the 2024 Falling Walls Foundation competition; placed third in Energie Startup Bayern 2024; succeeded at the E-Conversion Start-Up Day 2024; plans to deliver electrolyte prototypes to battery manufacturers for testing and integration by end of 2024.
Qkera is a spin-off of the Technical University of Munich with early backing from TUM Venture Lab ChemSPACE and UnternehmerTUM. No major venture capital or private equity investors have been reported as of late 2024.
