Would be nice to see 50p as support

…we upgrade our FY 2024 revenue forecast to £2.0m (from £1.4m).
Combined with higher revenue, lower costs due to the Stereax technology transfer mean EBITDA losses were £1.9m (H1
2023: £4.1m) with cash burn in H1 of just £1.9m (H1 2023:
£4.8m). We reduce our FY 2024 EBITDA loss expectations to £5.5m (from £6.2m) and year-cash increases to £8.5m (from £7.2m).

Even the naysayers are now starting to believe. Yes IKA is risky and Goliath may prove to be a dud. But valued at 77m quid v $3bn for QuantumScape. When someone comes knocking maybe late next year I think a $bn valuation is possible. That's 10x. DYOR

MATERIALS FOR ENERGY RESEARCH UPDATE
Lithium-ion batteries break energy density record
21 Apr 2023 Isabelle Dumé

Researchers have succeeded in making rechargeable pouch-type lithium batteries with a record-breaking energy density of over 700 Wh/kg. The new design comprises a high-capacity lithium-rich manganese-based cathode and a thin lithium metal anode with high specific energy. If developed further, the device could find use in applications such as electric aviation, which requires much higher energy density batteries than those available today.

Lithium-ion batteries are a key technology for helping to reach climate neutrality goals. They are increasingly being used to power electric vehicles and as the principal components of domestic devices that store energy generated from renewable sources. The technology has greatly advanced too: since first commercialized by Sony in 1991, the energy density of lithium-ion batteries has increased from 80 Wh/kg to around 300 Wh/kg.

I think you'll find it IS lithium-ion.
Do a little research, perhaps?

[shstt1] 07/12/2023 15:55

Only a matter of time
And it has many advantages over lithium-ion
By the time you get the results YOU want the price will be 400p haha
Chart is good for another surge maybe in January so load up (dyor)

This article from Physicsworld.com is quite useful...

No. Haven't bought yet. Ilika need to get to around 350 watt hours per kilogram which is the current commercial energy density. Next year it is likely to be 400 W hrs/kg.

Physics labs are currently producing pouches at 700 W hrs/kg but they are not commercial yet.

Ilika may yet make a breakthrough but I am not counting on it.

[shstt1] 07/12/2023 08:53

Haha well well - I suppose having spent many yrs of your life researching Ilika to not hold some would be bonkers and horrendously pointless
Bet hornblower has bought secretly too, you can’t be so close to this company and not realise the potential now. It’s taken years but this ol tree could start Bearing Fruit!!

[robertspc1] 06/12/2023 15:06

Seriously after all your previous comments..

[kenjen1] 06/12/2023 11:20

Goliath prototypes being sent first half of 24. This is starting to get to the point where customers and markets now believe. Brilliant update. Is this the first ever solid state ev battery to meet lithium ion parity?

[irenekent] 06/12/2023 10:53

Been here for years - a very long bet. You never know. At least they have stuck at it.

[volsung] 06/12/2023 08:46

Bought some. Bit of a milestone

[robertspc1] 06/12/2023 08:10

Well done indeed. Little old Ilika matching it's technology with global giants and their $$$$. Long way to go but the upside is enormous. I expect someone will try and take them over maybe as soon as next year. The price could be eye watering. But it could be a bumpy journey. DYOR

[kenjen1] 06/12/2023 07:20

Well there you have it! What a fantastic achievement. Let’s see how the market reacts to this news. SSB will transform the EV industry! Lovely!

[robertspc1] 29/11/2023 16:38

Added more. Lithium equivalence news soon

[stallone10] 27/11/2023 11:10

This company is way cheaper than Quantumscape in US valued at Billions.

[robertspc1] 27/11/2023 09:17

Thanks but I was referring to the broker upgrade not your links which I have read

[jonnycj] 27/11/2023 08:58

You’ll need to do your own research and read the links.

[robertspc1] 27/11/2023 08:20

Any details please

[jonnycj] 26/11/2023 19:08

Item 81 mentions new battery technologies with pros and cons, item 82 mentions Ilika

[malnu] 24/11/2023 14:36

Nice FY upgrade from the house broker too.
