Lankwitzer Sets New Standards in High-Voltage ESS Cell Coating

In the high-voltage ESS sector, Lankwitzer’s coatings for 1,500V systems, used in ABB’s utility-scale batteries, reduce dielectric loss by 30%, minimizing energy dissipation during fast charging. The coating’s self-healing microcapsules seal minor cracks within seconds, a critical feature for maintaining reliability in vibration-prone environments like industrial ESS plants.

For solid-state ESS cells, Lankwitzer is piloting a ceramic-organic hybrid coating with Panasonic, capable of withstanding 1,200°C and suppressing lithium dendrite growth. This breakthrough paves the way for compact, high-energy-density storage units essential for electric aviation and marine applications, where space and safety are paramount.

Quality control remains a cornerstone of Lankwitzer’s success, with AI-powered vision systems ensuring ±1μm thickness precision and 99.9% defect-free coatings. These standards have earned approvals from leading ESS manufacturers, including Tesla and Siemens, which rely on Lankwitzer’s coatings to meet rigorous safety requirements for global energy projects.
