Ilika specialises in the developing and commercialisation of solid-state batteries. The Company's mission is to rapidly develop leading-edge IP, manufacture and license solid-state batteries for markets that cannot be addressed with conventional batteries due to their safety, charge rates, energy density and life limits. The Company achieves this by using ceramic-based lithium-ion technology that is inherently safe in manufacture and usage, higher thermal tolerance and easier to recycle, which differentiates our products from existing batteries.

The Company has two product lines. It's Stereax batteries, which are designed for powering miniature medical implants, industrial wireless sensors and specialist Internet of Things (IoT) applications and the Goliath large format batteries designed for EV cars and cordless appliances.
