A prototype solid-state battery, named the Goliath P1 and developed by UK startup Ilika, has made waves in the electric vehicle (EV) industry due to its significant benefits and implications. The battery achieved a major breakthrough by passing an important safety test known as the nail penetration test.
This test simulates a catastrophic incident that often leads to dangerous thermal runaway—a condition in which traditional lithium-ion batteries, which use liquid electrolytes, can explode or catch fire.
