Enables Solid-State Battery Production at Existing Li-Ion Facilities Without New Equipment

DAYTON, Ohio, April 21, 2026 /CNW/ -- Solidion Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:STI), today announced the grant of a series of key patents covering its proprietary liquid-to-solid electrolyte conversion platform — a technology that enables existing lithium-ion battery manufacturers to produce solid-state batteries without new equipment or process investment — adding to the Company's portfolio of over 345 patents.

Flame-resistant electrolytes are key to safe operations of energy storage systems (ESS) and all-types of electric vehicles, such as drones, electric bikes, e-automobile, electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft (eVTOL), and e-boats. The fire and explosion danger in conventional lithium-ion batteries is caused by certain highly volatile and flammable organic solvents commonly used in liquid electrolytes.

The technology invented includes using any current lithium-ion cell manufacturing facility to produce dry battery cells, injecting a proprietary liquid electrolyte into the dry cells, and then converting the liquid electrolyte inside the cells into a semi-solid or solid electrolyte, thereby reducing or eliminating flammability.

A major advantage of such a breakthrough technology is that solid-state batteries can be manufactured at-scale today rather than tomorrow, using existing lithium-ion battery manufacturing facilities. There is no need to develop new processes and equipment.

Solidion, a pioneer in this "liquid-to-solid conversion" technology, is positioned to readily transform the entire lithium-ion battery industry into producers of semi-solid and solid-state batteries.
