Ilika’s Goliath programme has moved into a phase where its manufacturing process
has been proven at scale using standard lithium-ion equipment, a key step in reducing
both complexity and cost.

The company has already demonstrated its process at the UK Battery Industrialisation
Centre using equipment that is commonly found in lithium-ion battery production 
lines. This reuse of proven tools allows Ilika to scale up without the delays or
capital costs usually associated with custom setups. It also positions the company
to take advantage of existing global supply chains.

Material choices are equally pragmatic. Most of the bill of materials for Goliath
cells mirrors that of high-nickel NMC lithium-ion batteries, with a major difference
being the electrolyte. Ilika uses a ceramic oxide that is widely available off the
shelf, avoiding the need for specialised or rare additives. This focus on commoditised
inputs helps keep costs predictable and scalable. Its silicon-based anode materials
are expected to reach similar levels of availability and pricing in the near term,
further improving the long-term economics.
