Solus Advanced Materials secures zero-defect plated current collector for all-solid-state batteries
Solus Advanced Materials said on Monday it has completed development of a nickel-plated copper foil current collector, a key material for all-solid-state batteries, and has begun scaling up for mass production. The company aims to secure both technological and cost competitiveness for the all-solid-state battery market expected to commercialize around 2027. It said its plating technology achieves zero-defect coating even on ultrathin foil under 500 nanometers.

Cell-to-body race puts BYD, Volvo ahead of Tesla
BYD\'s advance in Europe\'s electric vehicle market is being driven by cell-to-body technology that integrates battery cells into the chassis, cutting weight, freeing cabin space and simplifying manufacturing. Volvo has joined the competition and is promoting the approach with its next-generation EX60 electric SUV, citing up to 810 km range and rapid charging. Tesla proposed the concept in 2020 but has shown little recent progress, raising questions about its position in next-generation batteries.
