Polymeric Current Collectors (PCC)

PCC: A New Battery Architecture for Safety and Performance

Today’s standard lithium-ion battery cells use copper and aluminum current collectors that, during an internal short, discharge the entire cell’s energy in milliseconds — halting function immediately and potentially creating the thermal runaway conditions that can generate enough heat to ignite a fire.
 
Dry-printed lithium-ion battery cells made with composite conductive materials — or polymeric current collectors (PCC) — are built with a different architecture. Sakuu’s PCC technology replaces metal current collectors entirely with inexpensive carbon-loaded polymer connectors. The architecture fundamentally changes failure behavior and performance capability:
 
  • • Thermal runaway eliminated by design. Any short in a PCC cell discharges energy slowly from a micro-area over minutes to hours, not from the entire cell in milliseconds — Sakuu PCC cells survived nail and bullet penetration testing on-camera with Munro Live and continued operating with no thermal runaway (see our newsroom for video link).
  • • Reduced weight and reduced cost. PCC cells achieve 75-85% current collector weight reduction, and enable 15-30% total cell weight and cost reduction — directly increasing payload capacity and range.
  • • Conformable form factors. PCC cells are not locked into cylindrical, pouch, or prismatic formats. They can be shaped to fit custom shapes, sizes, and structural cavities — unlocking design freedom that rigid cell formats cannot offer and enabling drastic increases in battery pack energy density.
  • • Chemistry agnostic. Compatible with lithium-ion, silicon anode, sodium-ion, and LTO — allowing OEMs to evolve cell chemistry without redesigning the pack architecture.

Custom Battery Shapes and Sizes

A new paradigm is born. Your batteries can become an integral design component—in any form or size. Product design will never be the same.

Maximum performance filling previous 'dead space' with ultra-energy density battery contours and angles, thereby improving product performance and longevity.

Custom shape possibilities that make batteries easy and effective to integrate into product design. No longer is there a need to design around, or for, traditionally shaped batteries. 

Custom size possibilities allow ultra-high-energy density batteries as thin as credit cards to power a new class of portable devices with a minimal form factor. 

“Sakuu’s batteries, engineered and printed in such a novel way, are poised to have a major impact on global transportation—thereby helping to reverse climate change.”
