Looking into Toyota moving towards lithium ion sulfide HPB tech batteries signing a deal with https://www.idemitsu.com/en/company/rd/laboratory/lithium.html
To mass produce these new EVs battery and all is challenging to find if the solid state electrolyte type anode contains graphite, carbon is noted however nothing on graphite, which most do use.
Anyone have this answer?

"Solid state batteryA new basic technology.
Safer. Longer lasting. Greener.

By using the HPB solid state electrolyte developed by us, the capacity of our battery will remain almost constant over its lifetime. No matter how heavy the battery is used. Our battery technology is safe because our HPB solid state electrolyte is non-flammable and the battery is non-explosive.
No critical raw materials are needed for production.

This also improves the environmental balance by more than half compared to conventional lithium-ion batteries.The fifth generation of battery technologyThe energy transition worldwide needs efficient storage technologies.
In Germany, electricity production from renewable energies (especially wind and solar) has overtaken traditional electricity production from fossil fuels (especially coal, gas and uranium). In order for electricity production to be able to renounce fossil energy sources in the long term, electricity producers, grid operators and consumers need intermediate storage facilities.

The fifth generation of batteries:
1880 Lead-acid
1900 Nickel-cadmium
1980 Nickel-metal hydride
1990 Lithium-ion
2018 HPB solid-state batteryAccording to current calculations, the demand for buffer storage in Germany alone is 11.3 TWh.1 In order to cover this immense demand just once with batteries, about 87 gigafactories with an annual production of 5 GWh each would have to produce batteries for more than 25 years.

Only then would it be possible to completely phase out fossil fuels in Germany by 2050.
As a new basic technology, our HPB solid-state battery makes an important contribution to this.
The combination of its properties is a "game changer" and a success factor for the success of the energy transition.

The characteristics of our HPB solid-state electrolyte have already been confirmed by independent research institutes. The precursor technology, which Prof. Dr Günther Hambitzer played a key role in developing on a liquid basis, has successfully completed more than 50,000 charging cycles to date and has been in use for grid stabilisation in the USA since 2017.

The top layer makes the difference: Conventional lithium-ion batteries age because a top layer forms on their anodes through charging and discharging.
This grows over time and with each use, even faster the more intensively the battery is used. This growth of the top layer consumes capacity and increases the internal resistance, the performance of the battery decreases.With our innovative battery technology, a very thin top layer forms during first charging.

After that, it grows no further.
Through the use of our patented HPB solid-state electrolyte, internal resistance remains virtually constant throughout the service life. No matter how much the battery is used.The fields of application ↗ for our HPB solid-state battery are diverse and concern the generation, distribution and consumption of electricity."
