Sphere research portfolio

Honoring the Hard Work Behind Every Discovery

Behind every clean, elegant figure published in a journal are months of broken pellets, cracked separators, and quiet persistence in the lab. Progress in next-generation energy storage, especially in solid-state batteries, demands extraordinary patiencewhere a shift of a single micron or a slight pressure variation can quietly reset days of careful effort.  

What this portfolio represents:

We created the Sphere Research Portfolio not to showcase ourselves, but to honor and reflect on the remarkable accomplishments of the researchers who trust our equipment. It brings together over 35 open, peer-reviewed publications from leading global institutions and laboratories that have utilized Sphere Energy setups between 2020 and 2026. When we see our systems cited in these papers, we don't just see a referencewe see the dedicated people, late nights nd scientific rigor behind the data.  

A reflection of our community's work across four key areas:

  • Sulfide & Argyrodite Systems: Groundbreaking studies by our users mapping reactivity, thermal boundaries, and solvent-phase interactions to improve solid-state stability.  
  • Silicon Anodes & Mechanics: Innovative research managing severe volume expansion through freestanding silicon nanowires, prelithiation, and electrolyte-free slurry designs.  
  • Halides & Novel Electrolytes: Peer-reviewed breakthroughs expanding voltage stability up to 4.8 V, improving air-processability, and advancing polymer-blend membranes.  
  • Interfacial Diagnostics: Advanced methodologies utilizing 3-electrode cells, operando pressure tracking, and low-pressure lithium cycling to eliminate contact loss.  

Every reliable result belongs to the scientists doing the hard work. We are simply grateful and privilege-bound to build the tools that support your journey toward safer, more sustainable battery technologies.
