About Us

SES is the world’s leading researcher, developer, and manufacturer of Li-Metal technologies and products. And we are building a complete ecosystem of materials, cells, modules, Artificial Intelligence Battery Management Systems (BMS), and recycling.

Materials: World’s leader with proprietary technology, strong IP portfolio, and large-scale manufacturing capabilities in thin lithium foil, high purity salt, and high concentration electrolyte.

Cells: World’s leader in Li-Metal cell design, engineering, and manufacturing. Currently building more Li-Metal cells than the rest of the world combined.

Modules: World’s leader in Li-Metal pack/module design, engineering, and manufacturing.

AI BMS: Integrating machine learning, the world’s largest data pool for Li-Metal cells/modules/packs, and a fundamental physical understanding of failure mechanisms into a BMS that can predict safety incidents, monitor cell life, and improve overall performance.

Recycling: Turning cycled mossy lithium back into lithium compounds which can be used to produce fresh lithium materials such as salt, cathode, and ingot.

SES has operations in both Boston and Shanghai, leveraging a global supply chain and talent force to build an entire Li-Metal ecosystem.

The SES Li-Metal ecosystem can be utilized in many exciting applications including space communications using High Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS), drone deliveries, and manned electric transportation both on land (EV) and in the air (eVTOL). HAPS and drones are initial markets to validate and improve the technology and build a steady revenue source, the final goal is to power EV and eVTOL.

Company

Every once in a while, a new battery technology comes along showing promise in one area, but is objectively worse in almost everything else compared to Li-ion. Maybe it’s low energy density, or short cycle life, or poor power density, or expensive, or just never built a real cell.

SES, formerly known as SolidEnergy, used to pursue solid state Li-Metal technology. But pivoted away from it, due to the low energy density, high temperature requirement, and fundamentally expensive and difficult-to-scale manufacturing process.

Today SES is the world’s leading developer and manufacturer of Li-Metal systems including materials, cells, modules, algorithm and recycling. It is headquartered in Singapore with operations in Boston, Shanghai and Seoul.
