Products & Services
While Ampcera continues to develop its proprietary engineered solid-state electrolyte materials and revolutionary scalable manufacturing technologies for integration in batteries, our team has successfully commercialized a series of solid-state electrolyte materials. Compared to flammable liquid electrolytes, batteries made with solid-state electrolytes have the advantages of higher energy density, faster charging, better safety, long term stability, and ultimately lower cost.
200+ industry customers and partners
Commercially available Ampcera® solid-state electrolyte materials include sulfides (e.g. engineered Argyrodite, LGPS, LSPS, etc.), garnet-structure oxides (e.g. engineered LLZO), and more.
These products can be ordered through MSE Supplies (msesupplies.com).
Superior performance sulfide and oxide solid-state electrolyte materials can be manufactured by Ampcera at scale with a significant cost advantage over competition.
Proprietary engineered solid-state electrolyte materials, all ceramic or composite flexible membranes and manufacturing technology under development by Ampcera are only available for testing and joint development with strategic partners and investors.

Ampcera’s All-Solid-State Battery Technology Surpasses U.S. DOE’s Extreme Fast-Charging Goal of 80% Charge in 15 Minutes
TUCSON, Ariz., February 15th, 2021 /Newswire/ — Ampcera Inc., a pioneer in solid-state electrolyte manufacturing and next-generation solid-state battery development, announces that its all-solid-state battery (ASSB) technology has achieved a fast-charging milestone of 0 to 80% state of charge (SOC) in under 15 minutes at a peak C-rate of 4C. This advancement demonstrates the fast-charging potential of ASSB – a key requirement for the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs).
Ampcera Announces its IP-protected Technology for Extreme Fast Charging All-Solid-State Batteries (ASSB)
Ampcera’s ASSB technology, which comprises IP-protected sulfide solid-state electrolyte materials, is engineered for extreme fast charging. A high-capacity NMC cathode and a silicon-based anode are used to achieve a high energy density goal of 400 Wh/kg. The ASSB is devoid of any liquid or semi-solid electrolyte ensuring the highest levels of battery safety, which is particularly crucial during rapid charging cycles. Lab-scale pouch cells exhibited less than 5% capacity decay after 300 cycles of repeated fast charging (4C peak C-rate) demonstrating the potential for a long cycle life of greater than 1000 cycles in commercial cells once fully developed.
“Ampcera’s high-performance solid-state electrolyte materials have propelled ASSB technology beyond the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s ambitious fast-charging benchmark of achieving an 80% charge in under 15 minutes,” said Sumin Zhu, Co-Founder and CEO of Ampcera Inc. “Our primary objective is to introduce a commercially viable fast-charging ASSB technology that addresses consumer charge anxiety caused by extended wait times at charging stations.”
Ampcera Receives $2.1M DOE ARPA-E Grant to Develop Fast-Charging Solid-State Batteries with Partners
TUCSON, AZ, UNITED STATES, January 23, 2023 — Ampcera announced today that it has been selected to receive $2.1 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E). The funding is part of the ARPA-E Electric Vehicles for American Low-Carbon Living (EVs4ALL) program, which seeks to develop more affordable, convenient, efficient, and resilient electric vehicle (EV) batteries.
Ampcera Raises a $15 million Series A Investment to Scale the Production of Critical Materials for Solid-State Batteries
TUCSON, AZ, USA, December 12, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ampcera Inc. announces the first closing of its Series A funding round with lead investor Hanwha Solutions Corporation. With this new investment, Ampcera is on track to scale the production capacity of sulfide-based solid electrolyte materials to meet the rapidly increasing customer demand. This investment will also accelerate the integration of its solid electrolyte materials in solid-state batteries to better serve its customers.
“We look forward to working with our partners to accelerate the commercialization of solid-state batteries as a trusted supplier of critical materials.”— Sumin Zhu, Co-Founder and CEO of Ampcera Inc.
